Default 2001 C5 Sputtering and Misfiring Below 2k

Alright folks, I have scoured this forum for a couple days and I am just not finding the answer I am looking for.

My c5 is sputtering and misfiring pretty bad below 2k RPM. Once I get about 2k rmp everything snaps back to normal and you can feel it. I have tried Cleaning the MAF and throttle body and that didnt help. I checked for codes and every code is unrelated to the PCM.

Recently I had to replace the clutch and flywheel. To do it I had to unbolt the headders and some of the Spark plug wires and I am wondering if I stretched out a spark wire or something? Maybe cracked a plug?

Any idea would be helpful, or guidance.

Thanks everyone.

Codes for reference just incase

If you didn’t remove the plugs before removing the headers I’d start with the plugs...AC Delco 41-162 Iridium’s are the current OEM plugs !!
