beating on components gets expensive fast....
BASICS - lets start easy fast things and eleminate
Check fuel pressure and observe fuel pressure drop KOEO.
check for vacuum leaks. EGR, mating surfaces, Vac tubing and hoses.
how do you know plugs are not fouled- Check that all 6 are sparking? TIP: only use AC Delco plugs avoid discount parts ie Bosch.
Its easy although limited in info -check codes.

I DO NOT HAVE ANY WAY TO CHECK FUEL PRESSURE.
I REPLACED A VACCUM HOSE ON TOP OF THE ENGINE.
WOULD THE DIAMETER OF THE HOSE CAUSE A PROBLEM.
I HAVE A RAT PROBLEM HERE SOMETIMES.
I AM WELL AWARE OF SPARK PLUG PROBLEMS.

Hey lighten up there Bubba
People here want to help but you have to be able to do whats asked of you in order for them to diagnose your car for FREE over the internet.
Folks here offer their time and extensive knowledge for free to strangers. We are not a bunch of shade tree mechanics or hobbyists, Guys here are seasoned techs in the business or recently retired.
Autozone rents tools and does rent a Fuel Pressure test gauge
You offered limited info and we don't know what you have done or what your capabilities even are.
We use strategy based diagnostics......
Simple tests need to be performed , one of which is the fuel pressure test.
If that isn't good enough for you, feel free to go to a pay site
