Update!!!!
Over the weekend I changed both the fuel filter and pump. That did seem to make a difference in the performance of car - the idling got smoother. However, it still will only rev up to about 800-900 rpm before dieing. What I tried next was as you guys in the forum recommended. First, I tried changing the rotor with a new one. To my surprise there are actually two rotors for my car and it turns out that my car was running of the short one. So, I replace it with the slightly longer rotor. I had an immediate response, the car was idling perfectly at 550 rpm and I was able to rev up to 1000 - 1500 before dieing. The next thing I tried was looking for the vacuum leak. I used the old cab cleaner trick and I noticed that the only time the engine would respond was when I sprayed around the fuel injectors. In fact, there were bubbles right at the base of each injector. Is this the leak? Or does it simply mean the injectors are bad? If that's the vacuum link is there a sealant I can use so I don’t have to replace the injectors? Am I on the right track or is there something else I should be looking at?
