Welcome to 2CarPros.

Check to see if there are any vacuum leaks. Chances are something came disconnected or broken. Here is a link that will explain how to check:

If nothing is found, retrieve diagnostic trouble codes. On this vehicle, all you need is a test light. Follow the directions in this link.

Let me know what you find.
