You probably left something unplugged or undone when you put things back
after doing your fuel line install.  I would double check the place
where the air intake boot hooks to the AFM.  Is it sealing good and
tightly clamped?  Also did you remember to plug the AFM back in?
(BTDT).  Either one of these scenerios could cause your problem.
Recheck all of the plugs and spark plug wires to be sure that you didn't
bump something loose while doing your fuel line replacement.  If you go
slowly and check everything you will find it.
