Changed my air filter today and suddenly my car is idling low....

What have I done wrong?

What age and engine?
Check out the large convoluted rubber hose between the air filter and throttle body for tears and splits.

Check the plug that goes into the AFM on top of the filter housing. Recently had a problem with mine not idling and this was the problem.
