It could be any number of things.. Mind I do sit around an under voltage issue maybe... What testing have you done already.. What's the error codes are you getting?

my guess is it is an Oxygen Sensor problem. There are 2 of them in exhaust manifold on a v6 engine , about
$80 each , easy to change .

you may have an ambient air leak into the inlet manifold somewhere after the MAF sensor , check your rubber tubes to the heater actuators at the rear of the inlet manifold & the brake booster vacuum hose . make sure the inlet ducting is airtight to the throttle body. Still reckon its the Oxy sensors though......

Did you plug the air temp sensor back in?
