  Sounds like you accidentally knocked off a vacuum line and / or when the sensor was not plugged in you set a code. Do you have a Check Engine Light on? if so, you set a code.

  have the code cleared. you can do this by disconnecting the battery negative terminal for 30 seconds on most cars. Is the Air Temp sensor plugged back in to its connector? ( I Hope )
