It's your spacer that's causing the problem. You will need to modify you throttle cable bracket so that there is some slack in the cable. Right now your spacer is basically pulling on your gas pedal

Here's what I'd do next. Get some silicone vacuum line and replace all of you vacuum hoses. It's only gonna run you $10. WHen you were messing there you could have easily distrupted one or two hoses and they get brittle and leak if you touch them.
