Default PLEASE HELP!!! 03 V6 Coupe 6spd won't idle!

I have a 2003 Accord V6 Coupe 6spd and it won't idle!!!
Once I start it, it runs normally then once I touch the gas it will shut off.
I can drive/shift it normally as long as I don't let off the gas.

I had the shop replace my exhaust rocker on the rear head because they broke when I miss-shifted.

What could be wrong guys?!?!?

Once I start it then it'll idle like normal. But once I touch the gas it shuts off.
Sorry for not being clear in my first post.

very strange sounds like they installed something incorrectly. so what is the check engine light doing?
so you had bent or broken valves correct ?

There were no bent valves. Just broken exhaust rocker on the rear head.
Check engine light isn't on. Car just dies if I let off the gas.
