there are a number of thin tubes that run around the throttle body/fuel rail area, make sure all of these are connected properly, also get the engine running and listen for any hissing noises under your bonnet!!
Another thing is the throttle potentiometer. which si the black thing on ur throttle body (just after where rubber hose joins metal part)
check your rubber hose from airbox to engine for splits, and the thin hose that comes off it.
Check the rubber hose that goes from ur cam cover to the throttle body.
basically its either sucking air, or the potetiometer isnt set right/faulty!!!
