Default Problem.....

So last week my fuel pump went out on me. i had it replaced and an oil change and while i was at it i welded up my exhaust manifold, was having that annoying noise..... then took a trip to san antonio which is about hr and half from were i stay. on my way back home the car started hesiating. i pulled over check water oil, everything seemd fine. i took off again about 5 miles down the road it started to hesitat again the more i push to accelerate the more is hesited i did smell a little gas. was about 30 mins from home so i jus decieded to let the car cool down, i did this 30 mins later i took off and it was fine the rest of the way. any ideas?

something is overheating, but unfortunately I couldnt tell you. Take it to autozone or something to have the codes checked out.

Did your engine light come on? if not check for leaks and make sure they didnt mess anything up when they put your header back in.

Do what FBCBEER said and go get the codes check. Something must have been damage or not hook up properly
