Sounds like a V-8 only smaller?

After replacing my intake manifold gaskets I seem to have screwed something up. I stared my car after I finished replacing the gaskets and it sounded real loud and throaty. I can hear some kind of pump or some thing turning on and off while it's runing. It has very poor throttle response.
Please help!!
