Cobalt Head gasket now idling and running hard.

I have a 2006 2.4 cobalt with a ZZP super charger kit. I just replaced my head gasket on my car and after I did this my car ran great. Then after driving it around for 20 min the car went into limp mode then the engine disabled itself. Now the car has a rough idle. I am not certain if this is causing the issue with the idle and spudders even when running and goes into limp mode almost instantly. Also the TRAN/POW fuse is buzzing and am wondering if any of you may know what happend to my car. I don't think it is a mechanical issue because this would have occurred right after I started the engine.

Thoughts?

Any help would be great!

Did you check your compression? Are you throwing any misfire codes or anything?

Just a thought, but check your knock sensor! I had to replace mine as the connector wouldnt fully snap in place and i had similar symptoms.

And, did you make sure your timing chain tensioner engaged fully?
