    ^^Exactly. I'd change the plugs and dump in some Lucas Injector cleaner...and some higher octane gas...like higher than 92+. Then I'd take off the fuel rail and blow it out with an air gun if you can and see if anything comes out of it...eg. buildup...then replace your injector O-Rings...they are like $5 or less. Also...since the fuel rail is aluminum...check to see if it is bent...as that happens VERY easily and there might not be an injector seating just right. That...could then lead to a fuel AND vacuum leak...like I had...the bracket that bolted the fuel rail to the LIM was bent a little...once bent back...fixed everything right up.

    i noticed the vacuum line going to the fpr was cracked open, so it may have been part of the problem, i will still be checking the injectors, pcm will be here monday

    While you're waiting on your pcm, I'd go ahead and change the oil and filter for sure before starting it even one more time even just to trouble shoot.
