Did you replace manifold gaskets? If no pinched wiring seems like a vacuum leak so far or maybe if torquing manifold(s) etc., broke/cracked something??

X2 Like he said it sounds like a vaccuum leak. Do you have a torque wrench to torque it down?

Many parts of things especially engine you need to tight things in order by specified torque. If not done that way can be trouble especially on engines using alloy/aluminum parts!
The manifold gaskets may or may not be interchangeable side to side/front and rear. Plain don't know for this car but if so problems are near certain. New gaskets should have said or included any sealer/silicone if needed,

TOM, I'm glad you said sequence ( I meant to say that with using a torque wrench....)

Thanks for clarifying. In sequence using torque wrench is much better than saying in order. Old all cast iron you could get away with murder but sure wouldn't trust the aluminum/alloys - engine, pumps, wheels and all!

Don't use silicone on the upper intake plenum. Silicone will kill an O2 sensor faster than you can say, "Opps did I do that?" Only time you use gasket maker, which is O2 sensor safe, on one of those is when you are doing lower intake gaskets. You use a little bit of gasket maker on the china walls in the corners.
Don't adjust the throttle cam stop to lower idle speed. If you have a high idle, you have done something wrong and you need to figure it out instead of compromising for it by changing something that isn't intended to be messed with.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
