sounds like you have an air leak, could be to do with the idle valve and your air flow meter. check all hoses and vacuum lines then check them again.

after all that reset your ecu and go for a spin.

i was going to say breather pipe not on properly or you could have a split in one which you may of made worse when taking off, go back on what you removed and check and refit :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:
