Exclamation something just isn't right, please help

Hey guys im new here but im having a problem. I had to pull one of the heads on my 93 lt1 camaro. i replaced the head and intake, plugged everything up and trieed to start. it was very hard to start and when it did start it ran a rough low idle, kinda like only firing on a couple cylinders but when you barely touched the throttle inside its revs up to maybe 4000 or so on its own.

heres a couple things that i did not note on disassembly.
-the inector plugs, as in which plug went to which injector...they all look the same. so how would i know what goes to what or does it matter?
-some of the vacum lines. theres a couple on each side. i know the 2 smaller ones right on top of each oter towards the back on the pass side. one goes to the FPR and another somewhere else.

ive checked the spark plug wires and found nothing there.

anyone have any ideas on things to check, cause im kinda drawing a blank here.

I have a 93 if you can post up some pics of the wires and vacuum lines, I will look at mine and see if they are on correct. You can take some starter fluid and spray around the intake to see if its sucking in air. If it is when the fluid hits it, it will rev up on its own. Maybe as Camar69 or Whammer. Is the engine light on. Maybe its throwing codes.

The 93 LT1 still uses batch fire injection ( 1 bank at a time) so it does not matter which injector is connected to which wire, as long as the banks are not crossed. There are 2 fuses powering the injectors, and you may want to check them out. There should be a VECI diagram pasted inside the engine compartment, showing the vacuum hose connections.
