Bucking on acceleration and stumbling idle at cold start

[1999GrandPrix]

hey room, i have a 99 pontiac grand prix gt. i just got it back from the shop. replaced the intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and oil pan gaskets. also replaced int icm and all 3 coils. now when i accelerate, it starts bucking bad and on a cold start it idles like its gonna die. car has 111000 miles. no lights on at dash. also when i start the car and rev it up, i hear exhaust rattling? any ideas? could it be the cat that is causing this?

Spark Plugs, Spark Plug wires, and Fuel Filter.

Replace them all.

wires and plugs been bout a year since changed but the fuel filter was changed like 2 months ago. a few months ago the icm went and the car stank like gas comming out the exhaust. could it have fried the cat? no dash lights on though

bang on it a little bit with either a hammer or a broom or something and see if it makes noise. what spark plugs and wires did you get? check them anyways.

ok found the problem i think. upon looking at the maf sensor i did notice that theer was a crack where i guess a seam was on the top of the sensor. i stuck my finger nail in it and the whole top half of the sensor came off and the gooey stuff inside was there. i closed it back and started engine. upon opening it up a little, i noticed the engine act like it was going to die and upon opening it up all the way the engine did die out. so i just unplugged it and started it up and drove it round a bit until i get the new maf in the mail. so far its not as bad bucking in acceleration. i went ahead and did order an new maf, throttle position sensor, and a new idle air control valve. also going to change the plug wires while im under there. hope this works. havent changed any of the sensors i bought yet so its prolly time. car has 111000 miles on it. hope the hesitation and bucking stops. ill keep u guys updated.
