Probably pay close attention to all of the factory plugs/wires associated with R&R the engine. If something small escaped notice then that could be causing it.
More importantly, checking gaskets for leakage will be difficult, but the manifold, TB and PCV system or anywhere that unmetered air can enter the engine needs to be checked as well.
