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?

I'm not saying this is your problem, but the car will still run (like ****) with the ENG SEN fuse burnt. It supplies 12v to the MAF and the O2 heaters.
