Starting and Idling Questions

Hey Guys -

I'll try to keep this short, but I've gone through my 1986 NA 5-Speed and replaced just about everything rubber in my motor - Every vacuum line, as well as a new DME from F9Tech, and new AOS seals and Idle Control Valve and all of the hoses around those. Also, the Water pump, timing belt, and balance shaft seals and such too. New battery to top it off.

Car started and ran great last fall, and even started and ran great just a few days ago. It fully passed emissions too! Something happened on the drive home, however, and it started running rough and I'm getting a lot of engine vibration.

My question - I know that I have a small exhaust leak - is it possible that got worse? Or do I just have a bunch of old bad gas running through the motor right now that's causing it to run rough? It'll even start and then die now if I give it gas.

What am I missing?
