Default 99.5 GOLF Swapped transmission mount. Now it won't stay running?!

Hello I have a 99.5 Golf MK4 2.0l I was changing the transmission mount got it all back together and went to drive away but no go. Here's the symptoms I tried to start it, it turns over and fires but doesn't stay running, if I feather the gas pedal I can get it to run but its extremely rough and as soon as the pedal is let go it dies. Also I can smell gas pretty strong when its turning over. All I could think of was I accidentally unplugged an electrical connection of vacuum line when I was changing the mount but I couldn't find anything loose. It also sounds like the throttle body is making a sound of some sort even after i stop cranking.

Can anybody think of a connection, sensor, or hose that could have been disconnected that could cause this?

Any other ideas?

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'll check the plugs/wires out. That shouldn't be it because I drove it in the garage and it ran fine. But i'll check it out anyways thanks
