Default Oil leak fixed. But now she won't even run

I posted this over on ls1truck but I'm throwing it up here invade you guys have any ideas

So i pulled my intake manifold off because I noticed my valley cover was leaking. I addressed and fixed the leak put everything back together and it won't run. It will run really rough when I give it gas. All of my injectors are plugged back in and seem to be ok. Maybe that's the problem or I'm wondering if over tightening the intake manifold bolts and crushing the gasket would make it run like that?? Help me wise ones or else I'm just gonna put a rag in the gas tank and have a bonfire of the century

You need to pull codes before you do anything involving rags.

the only code i had was an evap code that was thrown before i started working on it. i took a break and came to try and start it and it fired right up for about a minute i could hear a vacuum leak so i pulled the intake manifold off and there was dirt all over the gasket because i had a buddy help me who doesnt know much about cars and he set down the intake manifold down on concrete and then gave it back to me to re install. but thats not his fault i should have known to have him place it on a clean surface to avoid that. so once again it was my own self that did me in. im waiting to get a new gasket tomorrow hopefully that solves my problems. if not ill be back

Sounds like you forgot to plug in a vacuum hose somewhere.
