Idleing problems

[blue night]

I am working on my brothers 02 camaro 3.8 v6 automatic, we just recently installed headers, full catback, throttle body spacer and k&n air filter, and we have driven it for about 200 miles and it ran great, but just yesterday while driving home the car started to run ruff, and I could tell it was loading up because it was realy stinky, It did not throw a code, so I checked all the plugs, their good, tested all the wires, there good, checked for vaccume leaks, none, checked for exhaust leaks, none, tested the coils, none, and made sure no pins were bent in any of the sensors, there good, every thing is plgged in, does any body have any ideas?, please help. thanks

Re: Idleing problems

It has a brand new high flow magnaflow cat, and yes it does smell like rotten eggs, but this is because it's loading up.

Re: Idleing problems

I had a chance to finaly work on the car and I figured it out, I had to borrow a snap on scan tool, to do it, there was a piece of metal stuck in the pintel of the egr valve, I pulled it out and it ran like a rapped ape again.
