Double check all your vacuum lines, especially the ones on the fuel regulator

Not sure what the order is that you did everything, but how long until you had injectors cleaned and then installed. 4 & 5 are black so running rich. I would move injectors 4 & 5 to other side and see if it follows. They could be stuck open. Are all wires fully connected. Did you touch the valves? Did you replace the filter?

Also the vacuum lines going to the regulator and damper make sure no fuel is in them. That was my issue and it was dumping fuel.

Injectors were clean and put back on the vehicle of the same day. The shop told me they were Working good. All wires are fully connected. The valves were never touched or engine open. Fuel filter was replaced Thank you

Check the spark plug wires. Probably they're gone bad over the time. The spark can jump over a break, but with every break it's going weaker up to a complete fail.

If the plugs are going black it’s probably an ignition issue not fuel starvation.
