my thoughts...
If these were spark plug wires that were damaged, I would replace them as opposed to repair. If the wires were part of a wire bundle, go back over the area to ensure nothing was missed. I you spiced wires as part of the repair, recheck with an ohm meter to ensure they are goo splices.
Since the engine is cold, I would expect it to run a little rich until it warms up. Although it sounds like to probably are on the right track looking for vacuum leaks. Check the hoses running into the intake closely.
Good Luck
