Maybe some of the old comb's got stuck in your exhaust causing a clog

When my cat started crumbling in my blue car, it got terribly clogged and ran like crap, but it never refused to start from it. Just my input.

Start with the basics. Check your fuel pressure, spark, and fuses.

Is the security light on? (this should always be your first step since your sitting in the car looking at the dash already.)
