You've got an airleak either from a damaged gasket or you've missed a vacuum hose when you put it back on. It could also be a leaky o ring from the fuel rail because I've seen that happen before and it can suck in air from there.

What you need to do is get it running and spray WD40 or something similar around the areas it could be and see if the engine speed rises, if it does that's where your leak is.
