Question Weird problems all of a sudden

Ok... So yesterday I pulled the uim off to get to the injectors. One of the O rings was broken and caused a fuel leak. I fixed it. Took it for a test drive and noticed some problems. It tends to hesitate under load. Hills are a definite problem. It feels like I really have to push it to accelerate. You can hear the hesitation when you rev. Its hard to explain. Kinda like when you rev right after you deflood the car. It stumbles. Its not a smooth rev. It happens in every gear and nuetral. Im almost positive there are no vacuum leaks. I hooked everything up right. Im gonna tear it apart again tomorrow. Ive already set the timing and tps. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Just need a place to start. Im supposed to get my emissions exempt sticker tomorrow. It needs to be driveable. Thanks!

You mean the ECU ground? On the EGR valve? If so I never took it off. I wasn't aware there was another one.

Ok. I did something really stupid and I am ashamed to say what. But for the sake of possible future searchers, check to see that your spark plug wires are connected properly...

Haha, the only reason I'm laughing is because I do the same thing some times. Its a combination of carelessness and excitement. Good to see your car is back up.
