Your car is going to explode very soon, unless you post what code was set.

Cruise control uses a vacuum nipple on the lower end of the back of the intake manifold. Removing that might've caused the engine to throw a CEL (though it didn't in my car so who knows). And you should've noticed your car idling a little higher.

Cut some tubing off from the tube that was originally there and then just tape 1 end of the plug and put the plug over the nipple .
