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:
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-use-an-engine-vacuum-gauge
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.
