Exclamation Won't idle after replacing radiator

I came home Thursday night and smelled antifreeze when I pulled in the garage. Took at look at the engine bay and found that the radiator was cracked on the passenger side.

I ordered a new radiator and it came in yesterday. I replaced it last night and now the car won't idle.


The only things I disconnected to replace radiator were the battery and the airbox/AFM. I've checked, double checked and triple checked the connections on both and removed and replaced connections several times.

I'm at a loss but need to get this figured out this weekend as it's my daily driver.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Pulled the complete intake tract off to check fitment against MAF and found a vacuum line to a pressure sensor pulled off. Vacuum hose was shot so replacced with new line. Starts and runs like a top.
