Found several leaky vacuum hoses , rep? 1983 caddy Eldorado 4.1 Liter .Sputters on acceleration Idles roughly . Found several leaky vacuum hoses , replaced them with some improvement , yet still dies on acceleration .Disconnect vacuum line going from back of throttle body to under the right side of the dash and it idles smoother and drives better on light acceleration but still dies and gives a service soon light. Checked fuel filter and it flows . Rotor and distributor cap were found to be bad and replaced . Car has a significant exhaust leak at drivers side exhaust manifold.Coil reads 8 ohms ( out of cirtcuit )Car ran perfectly before all of this. Problem seemed to come from out of no where.Car also has a leaky muffler.....HELP!!



Optional Information:
1983 Cadillac Eldorado 4.1 liter

Already Tried:
Replaced leaky vacuum hoses . Checked the coil for open turns . Read 8 ohms ( out of circuit ). Depressed the valve on the fuel rail , turned on the key and got a significant flow of gas. Have not actually checked the exact pressure.Changed rotor cap , distributor cap and plugs with OEM. ( they were in need of replacement ). Filled the tank with gas since the car would sputter sometimes when the fuel was low . Have been using feul injector cleaner for several weeks.Parking brake does not seem to work.
