Is the crankcase ventilation pipe sealed in properly, has a u-clip over it, that can be quite a little sh!t to get back in properly

Have you reset the throttle body? Mine took a while to get used to not having the PCV system, just give it some time. Oh and I know this sounds patronising but is the tap on the bottom shut? I needs to be wound out as far as it will go to be shut
