Default Dead Cylinder, But Not

My car started acting just like it has a dead cylinder but, when accually driving. It takes longer to rev only revs to 4500-5000 and sounds like its blowing alot of air out. If I unplug the inginition wires one at a time the engine loses that cylinder(duh) but does it on all cylinders. Day before, I installed lindseyracing vaccuum lines.

could it be bad injectors?

It started doing this immediately after you installed the lines?

Pls explain "blowing a lot of air out." Not sure what that sounds like.

the blowing sound sounds like one of the cylinders isn't firing and it is just blowing the air out of the cylinder unburned. I drove it before on three cylinders, and it feels the same as this. the car took me to work fine but had a loss of power on my way home.

whatever the problem is it seems fine at idle but can't cope past idle.
