    It's a nissan. You probably put the Mass Air Flow sensor in backwards.

    Check and make sure the mass air flow sensor is plugged in. If it is..there will be a small triangle/arrow on it somewhere. Make sure the arrow points towards the throttle body. (It may even say "Flow" next to the arrow).

    Hose clamps, unplugged sensors, bunch of things. Just look over everything you touched, you'll eventually come across what is wrong. Follow step by step how you took things apart and installed them.
