first trouble with car

okay hers the deal... my -SE is running like sh*t

driving the car feel like its at 90% and doesnt like to cruise under 4k... meaning that once it passes 4k is runs better but still not great....

plus the idle is lower.. usually sits around 6-8k but now its at 2-4k

the exhuast has a different tone to it... i thought the cat might be clogged but i just had that checked out by the exhaust shop and its fine

sooooo ummm

i dunno .....

vacum leak?
injectors?
shouldnt be fuel filter (new in january)
fuel pump?

i dunno.. help

vacumn leak. if its not idling below 4k, sounds definately like a vacumn lieak. Once my air tube got disconnected, and it wouldnt idle at all. I made sure everything was plgged in right, it ran just fine again.
