I did not have much time to work on the car...but this is where i am at

I believe i was completly wrong in thinking this is a fuel problem. Now when i purchased the car,it was set up rich with advanced timing. I could not pass the smog with timing out of spec so i had the timing set properly and i passed. I felt the performance was lost a bit,but ran good non the less. Few months later i had the fuel mix leaned (prob to the limit), and car still ran good, untill my troubles started. Now the other day i had my mech test the injectors and richen the mix and the car came back to life. I can start it cold and drive away,some hesitation and slugishness while cold but nothing like before, where i needed 10 min just to move the car. I think that cause of my problem is an an vacuum leak somewhere,and since i was running very lean the car completely stumbled. Now..At idle, when i unsrew the oil cap nothing happens,absolutely nothing. Prior to my troubles,when i unsrewed the oil cap there was definitive change in idle speed.

Now i have tried spraying some carb cleaner around intake,but without any results. I also tried the propane method,and nothing. Visually i can't see any cracks or anything like that. I will keep at it,and see if i cand find this leak(s)..
