id say do this...
disconnect the ground cable on the batter for 10min...then clear the ecu by pressing the brake pedal to discharge it. Drive until the CEL comes on again and get the code read by someone who has an obd2 reader (autozone will do it for free) or buy one for $30. Find the CEL and research it on nasioc or here for a CEL list. If it comes back check with paul or a shop you trust. Also check to make sure all of your vacuum tubes are hooked back up properly. I accidently snagged one of my lines off the T-fitting and didn't realise why it was idling all ****ty until I looked at the T-fitting and slipped the hose back on lol. I felt pretty dumb, but luckily I found out the source of the problem in about 5min

Glad you fixed the problem man! I had a feeling it had to do something with the vacuum lines.
