I just replaced the head gasket on my car listed above SE model. Car starts and runs great but check engine light is on and car will shut off going around corners and wants to shut off when i stop. Not all the time does it do it. Please any ideas?

Good afternoon,

Can you give me the code that is set? you will need a code reader to get the code. If not, a parts store will read it for free for you.

Did you verify the throttle body is clean of all carbon?

Check for any vacuum lines that may not be connected.
