89 L98 won't idle and runs rough

I figured the car had been sitting for a while so I drained the fuel and replaced with fresh gas. Changed the fuel filter while I was at it. I could get it to run, but only momentarily. Suspected the VATS so that got bypassed. Still the same. Replace all injectors with SB 22 lb units and it seemed to run smoother, but still would not idle. Then I noticed a huge fuel leak coming of the back of the engine. I disconnected the battery and pushed the car out of the garage and cleaned up the mess. I suspect the leak is from the fuel rail o rings in the crossover tubes since it is a steady stream leaking out. I have not had time to investigate. Maybe later today when I get home. Like I said I can get the engine to run, has no power and wont idle. I'm at a loss here. Could someone help shed some light on this for me?
