Chances are you bumpped a vacuum hose off when you were working on it. Double check for vacuum leaks. Also, make sure when you routed the plug wires that none are arcing. I've seen new wires (poorly made) that were no good out of the box. Also, make sure none of the wires are laying on the exhause manifold where they could melt and short.
