It's usually a problem with the mass airflow sensor. You may have installed it backwards or more likely it has oil from the filter on it. Don't touch the wires in it, just spray it clean with some electronics cleaner or a similar product. The only other problem is usually caused by connecting the hoses wrong.

"Uh, guys, anybody remember which hoses went where?"(chorused) "No"1 hour many failed ideas and 300 vulgarities later..."Hey, what's that diagram on the underside of the hood? Isn't that for the intake system?"
