Check engine light after head gasket repl.

Check engine light after head gasket repl.
Hello all, new to this forum but have an 87FE non-turbo that I just changed the head gasket on. The check engine light was not on before the need for the new gasket, but now it is on. The engine runs pretty well now, except that it is a little rough around idle and the light, it smooths out with acceleration and at speeds greater than idle. I have checked the timing, it has recent new injectors, and I have replaced all the vacuum hoses with fresh rubber to no avail. Any Ideas?
