Hello Justin,
The energy values I get differ mainly for LJ and coulomb(SR) terms. I
read through chapter 4 of manual but I did not find the difference
between LJ/coulomb 1-4 and SR.
1-Where can I read about the differences of these?
For starters:
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Gromacs_Utilities/g_energy
Also realize that 1-4 interactions are intramolecular, SR are intermolecular.
The manual does explain these interactions.
For additional reading, any basic MD textbook will undoubtedly discuss potential
energy, its components, and how they're calculated. The Gromacs manual should
provide some references as well.
2-Do you think the difference in energies as a result of excluding
intramolecualr nonbonded interactions are reasonable?
I have no basis to assess that.
3-I can not figure out why pressure in the first case in negative and it
is very large when exclusions are included.Also in the second case
kinetic energy is zero. :(
For an NVT ensemble, pressure is basically meaningless. Even in the presence of
pressure coupling, it will fluctuate quite a bit.
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Pressure
Since pressure is related to the virial, and the virial is affected by
exclusions, you will see a difference.

The temperature will be zero in the rerun energy file because the .xtc file does
not contain velocities. If you rerun from a .trr file that has velocities, you
should get a temperature term.
4-If I want to perform NPT simulation, the only thing I need to do is to
switch on Pcoupl option in mdp file?
Yes.
Thank you for your help.

Is this the entirety of your .mdp file? If so, you are leaving a large number
of parameters at their default values, rolling the dice and hoping they are
appropriate. If this isn't your whole .mdp file, please *always* post the
entire thing, or else I start rambling about unimportant things :)
