How long was it running? Easiest thing to do is take an inductive timing light and connect to each plug wire one by one to see if there is an ignition miss. That would rule out of the ignition is all is fine. A vacuum gauge on a manifold port would answer your vacuum leak question. Did you change the fuel filter???

Removed injectors, looked bad so ordered new ones, took out fuel filter and this redish liquid poured out of the filter, so changed that. I am going to remove tank and drain that and see what it looks like inside. Will keep you posted
