Default rough idle???

I just got done hiding my traction control and my wires on the passenger side. I broke a vacuum line when I did it and taped it up the best I could until I could get to the parts store. It ran really good after I was done but the next day after it was warmed up after driving it for a second it started to have a rough idle. I assumed it was from the vacuum line so I replaced that. It didn't fix the problem. It was always a little temperamental with the idle but not nearly as bad, just sometimes when I brake hard it would hesitate. Has anyone experienced this before? I have new plugs, wires. It was throwing multiple misfire codes after I did my long tubes and ls6 intake. That was the same time I did my plugs and wires. She has 140,000 miles. Before I did the mode it didn't have any codes and ran great.

Did you have it tuned after the mods?
Did you do the pcv conversion aswell?
Make sure no line is unhooked on the pcv system aswell.
