Likely unmetered air (air leak). Did you replace all seals and gaskets? Did you torque all fasteners to MB specs? Are all hoses and electrical connectors securely connected? Retrace all of your work.

Yeah, did you use new O-rings for the fuel injectors? It's also easy for the intake manifold gasket to slide and not be on straight after you drop the intake down on it. Did you make sure it was lined up before you torqued it down? And yeah, lots of things to connect/disconnect so recheck your work, could be something loose.

I would replace all the soft rubber vacuum lines on the intake while its out. They did cause me misfires in the past.

my guess is intake is leaking.
Either because improper install or something attached to it and internally connected to air flow is leaking.

R&R intake and check everything
OR check as much as you can before R&R intake.
Could also be wire or connector to injector or coil pack fault.

Permatex 98H gasket sealant will hold the intake seals in place so they don' t drop out during assembly.
