84 SE Idle and runnng Problem

Well here's the deal,

s is usual couldn't happen at the worst time, tomorrow i was planning on running up to Rotorfest...grumbles, i went to get the SE out of the garage. When i turned it over it started then imediatly died, tried again, and it died, it would start and only run for a second or two. I could still hear the fuel pump was running, and i can also here fuel running through the fuel rail. I finally got the car running, and had to keep feathering the throttle to keep the car running. I moved the car out of the garage and even after warming it and moving it it died. Then flooded. AFter unflooding the car it was still running like crap, i have spark on both the leading and trailing plugs, and i know all of that is working. Basically i am looking for any ideas on what is going on with the car?

It doesn't want to run, when forced by throttle feathering it has no power and runs terrible, i did drive it around the block and it doesn't have any power, was hoping it would work itself out when going around the block. I don't think that i have a stuck seal, it's just weird because the car was running great when i parked it, and the next time i tried to start it i got this

Any ideas on what's going on???
Thanks,
Bryan

I think it's a vacuum leak. It definitely sounds like the symptoms of one, but I'm not familiar with -SEs, only with the 12a carb'd ones.
