tpi idle hesitates, almost like wanting to die

car is stock. in the morning when cold it idles ok, but when at operating temperature idle is uneven and wants to die.
another issue although I was able to scan once in the past lately I can't anymore. I was looking for live data.
I may have a vacuum leak or leaky or partially clogged injectors. how do you check for vacuum leak? do you need to block some of the plenum ports?
checked spark and seems to have at all 8 cylinders. I'll change the spark plugs just in case
thanks for any hint
