Sounds like a spark or fuel issue, only 3 things needed for an engine to run, fuel, air, and spark. I'd say just check your plugs, maybe connector got loose on either a plug or injector.....

you also may have a vaccum leak. Try and spray starter fluid around your intake gaskets as well as the plenum gasket. If the idle kicks up you have a leak...
