sounds like you knocked a VAC line off when you were under there... maybe forgot a plug on or near the intake, you may have touched it with your arm? etc..... Something isn't plugged in.

i dunno if it may cause u to stall but hope you remembered to put the fan nuts back on after you took off the stock fan. but i see no other reason why ur car would stall unless you hooked up the power wire to something under the hood in which you shouldnt have.

I agree with O.L.T., something has been disconnected and not reattached. I would just go through step by step and simulate what you did and just look carefully around and see if there is anything you may have either forgotten or accidentally bumped and knocked loose. Take your time and look closely.
