How's the compression for the cylinders?

compression seems fine ive been driving it on the 3 cylinders.. buddy says there may be a vacuum leak but that would have to be a pretty big one.. something one would be able to hear.. im thinking maybe my computer might have gone out... either that or my fuel injectors are clogged to all hell

well, without claiming I know the systems, I would doubt you have a bad computer if your getting signal at the injectors and plugs.  You may have one, but I would doubt it.  I don't think the vacuum leak would have an effect as great as you have.  Normally, in my experience, its enough to cause an engine to run bad, but not of a whole side of a block.  If you're not sure of the amount of fuel your getting, the only thing I can tell you is to try running some "dry gas" through your system.  That's always what my family refers to it as (dad's a mechanic).  Fuel injector cleaner, something to that nature.  Not sure what it runs on the market, I get it through my dads shop.  You may still have bad injectors eventhough you're getting a signal.

pull your injectors, inspect them.
then run fuel system cleaner through it, i usually get a tank of 93 when im running on fumes then run a full bottle into the tank\

drygas is a fuel system antifreeze, not a cleaner. make sure you get the right stuff. just a fyi

Those three injectors are all fed power from the same wire.The Ecu grounds each injector to fire it.I would check  that you are getting power when ever the key is on.
