could also be a vaccuum leak, make sure that you have two hoses connected at the back of the manifold, a large one and a small one.

Double check all the connectors/hoses... you probably didnt plug something in.

check your O2's, are they plugged in? and are you not using rear O2's and possibly plugged your fronts into the Rear's?
