Chugging like a diesel ! Help me!

I was just checking out my car today, you know looking at vacuum lines, checking connections. I cleaned the throttle body and also pulled and checked the PCV valve. Now my car sounds like its chuging away like a diesel. ANy ideas? Also my engine is a VG.

yeah i plugged everything back in. Also made sure everything was aligned because i noticed that the MAF has a O-ring. (Incase i forgot to say i also pulled the MAF sensor to look at it. I dont know why i looked at it i was just checking things out.) Why would i need to check the O2 sensor? it wasnt bothering anything before.

Nevermind. Apparently my already bad injector wires was messing up. I just jiggled it and the roughness went away. But that brings up another question. Where can i get injector wires w/o buying the whole harness? I am fully capable of just splicing in new ones. Does anyone know where i can get them?
