Also, lube the o-rings befor you put them back in. lotsa write-ups on what to use, I just used fresh motor oil.

Failure to do so can cause torn o-rings, or improperly seated injectors which will lead to a poorly running engine, or worse.

I got your solution. It's either a vacuum leak at your brake booster or our tps. Likely the tps. Easy to test and if its still good adjust.
