car just shuting off

ok heres what happen. i was running an open header for bout 2 iweeks becuz i was n the process of removing my cat to fix it. well i just gutted the cat and put it back on my car. so now when im driving it just decides to kill its self, if i just try to restart it idles really ruff, but if i take the key out and put it back in, and start it, its all good. so i dont know what the prolly is, and ne suggeston would be great thanks

Does it shut off only when your giving it gas, does it do it at all when you press down the clutch?
