You can't make design changes to a .STL file so it is not a source file.

That is one most people use but I don't use it enough to justify the cost. Maybe 1 or 2 months a year max.

I would not think a small vacuum leak would lean the mixture because the lambda O2 sensor would compensate.

If your injectors were all working the same, my guess is that's not your problem. What does it cost you now to get it tested?
