i know exactly what u did, there is a orange wire under the factory loom between the egr valve and the tps. It probally broke when u took off ur intake, try this, take a multi meter probe the orange wire on ur tps, it should say 5v if it doesnt the orange wire is broken somewhere, or ur ecu is fried,
later
