Put the original trigger back on and see if it fixes the issue.

Sounds like you may have put the grip back incorrectly. Recheck the instruction manual that came with either the trigger or the marker and make sure you have it correct. If you don't have a manual, here:

 
If you have runaway fire, it is because the sear is not catching the bolt. Common reasons are: incorrect placement of trigger springs, pins etc.; worn sear; low air source. Check these issues and see if it fixes it.

You messed up something with the sear. It isnt catching and is cycling at probably 40+ cycles per second
