    Have you done a compression test.
    where are you.
    maybe a very dirty injector
    IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.
    THEN IT'S A COMPROMISE

    Some injector cleaner and 98 RON fuel???? Injectors don't last forever, so may need replacing/cleaning at a shop.

    Vacuum leaks aren't the easiest things to find, even when you do use flammable liquids to try and find leaks. When I bought my patrol, it had lots of vacuum leaks, and every hose I replaced improved the performance slightly. But the biggest leak I had was either the manifold to head gasket or the gasket between the manifold halves. Replaced both and the engine ran like new. Mind you I installed new injectors, new ignition components and a new fuel pump. All of these were suffering in some way and caused an improvement when replaced.
    Check your fuel rail pressure, should be 40 psi and rise up pretty quickly.

    Also take the distributor cap and rotor off and remove the plate underneath. There will be a disk with hundreds of little notches. There is an optical pickup sensor which reads these notches, any water or dirt that has managed to get in will need cleaning.

    If you can buy a cheap inline gauge, and install it after the fuel filter, that will give you an indication on what your pumps health is like. Mine put out 32 psi and rose to this very slowly. When I replaced it, as soon as i turned the key it jumped to 40 psi instantly. Made a big improvement to the performance also.
