A vacum leak is likely but before I started a endless search of vacum hoses I would check plugs for spark if you don't have it and have a recent tune-up then it's probally a bad ECM, but if you have good spark then stealthy is probally right (might be a bad injector aswell)

Well today i spent most of the day back flushing the fuel filter and cleaning the front injectors put it back to gather ran OK for about 5 min
then it had the same problem now its worse i am thinking some rust in the gas tank or something in the tank i am going to completely flush the tank and clean the injectors again what is the best way to clean out the injectors let them soak in ? or spray them with ? could someone give my some advice on this thanks
