Headers on my c5
Hey everyone so I just put headers on my 2001 Corvette. I have not gotten it tuned yet and have driven with them for about four days. When driving all of a sudden my oil temperature will start to drop. As soon as it drops my car stutters and jerks forward several times. My spark plugs seem to be fine, but I did notice a sensor that is cracked. The sensor runs behind the alternator into the engine block. Not sure if that's what is causing the issue but would love some help. Thanks a ton!

coolant temp sensor, very common to break those when doing headers and it can cause the car to run like crap since the pcm doesn't know if the car is warmed up so it dumps more fuel than you need... get that fixed asap and also pull and post up any codes from the dic
