Default 2003 Cavalier shakes and stalls at idle

I have a 2003 cavalier, the car would shakes and stall and have no power. I changed the timing chain, cataletic converter, plugs and coil pack. Since i changed the timing chain it seems to sound better when at high RPm but when you let off the gas it goes down to idle shakes and the dies. when trying to start it agian does not start right away.

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a vacuum leak. Check all your vacauum hoses, you might get lucky.
