How did you fix the vacuum leak? Where exactly was the leak? Have you checked for spark at the plugs?

More information will probably quicken a diagnosis.

Is the spark bright blue or weak orange? Did you check at all four plugs? How did you check for spark?

What specific gasket did you replace? What did you remove to replace the gasket? For example, if you removed the throttle body and/or intake manifold, then double check that the MAP sensor and fuel injectors are tightly reconnected.

Is the CEL ON?
