So, what have you checked so far, when was it last tuned with cap/rotor along with wires, what octane gas are you using and when did you last change your fuel filter.

check fuel pressure?
how old is the fuel filter?
check for rust at the fuel rail by taking the lines off--these oldies but goodies are prone for rust and heavy debris getting into the injectors

When you add cleaner to a engine you should run it till it get`s hot , it`s popular to it injector cleaner when your going to travel because the injectors and the engine gets really hot burn off the carbur builted -up.
