Hey need some help here I have a 02 grand Prix se and I just did a LIM gasket and now the car won't start and when I try to start the car it back fires out the intake any one know what I did wrong

I agree that spark plug wires installed on the wrong cylinder is the most likely cause of popping through the intake. The cylinder location on a 3.1 is different than a 3.8. The front bank is 2,4,6 and rear bank is 1,3,5. Here are some pictures from Alldata:
The other possibility is you did not put the pushrods in the correct spots. The intake pushrods are shorter than the exhaust pushrods.
It's a 3.1 Cam.. on the GA's they made sure you couldn't see the coils well enough to notice..lol
I've done one of these where the lifters wouldn't collapse when reinstalling the pushrods causing it to sound like no compression and popping out the intake. I ended up loosening up the rocker arms slightly which closed the valves, started the car, then torqued them down. Worked like a charm. This was my last resort stuff though. Obviously check the other stuff posted first.
Snoop must be doing pretty bad these days...went from blunts, 40's, and b!tches to driving a 3100 GP...these are surely sad times.
okay I got it to start today apparently there was no fuel pressurebut the other thing is it idles a little low like its going to cut off but when I unplug the mass airflow sensor it idles a little too high I did take one of the plugs out and it looked a very bad do you guys think I should change the plugs first or do you guys think is the MAF
Did you put that vacuum tube on top of the TB back in place? IIRC it's not easy to see the hole due to a bracket on the TB. But if it's missing, you'll have a hell of a time.
My car sounded cammed yesterday. hooked the brake booster back up and it purrs.. odd how that works.
