Default Help, throttle body

i just put a new throttle body gasket on my car, its not hissing but a real loud like squelish noise is coming from it and its idling retarded, i put the gasket on correctly and tightened all the bolts down

Its a single cam throttle body on my LS intake manifold (my ls t/b broke )

Its a brand new t/b gasket straight from honda.

how can i fix this?
