Welcome to the forum ..

Iwould suggest that you go back and double check all the connector plugs on all the cam sensors are pushed all the way in , essentric shaft sensors . make sure the spark plug boots are fitted correctly and that all the coils are snapped on right . Make sure the maf sensor is connected properly .. Then check for vacume leaks and a cracked vacume hose ..

Hopefully its something you missed .. But If everything checks out good ,, there is a possibility that you broke the essentric shaft sensor . its really easy to do if you're not careful putting the covers on and off .
