so i recently changed my fuel rail and while i was in the process of taking out the hardest bolt to remove fell and got lost so i was wondering if that is the cause of my engine to run like s*** ??

my engine idles fine but when i tap the gas the idle just drops and wants to die when i take my foot off it rises back up to regular idle

it also has a leak between the 4th injector and the injector spacer will that cause this problem to ???

pls help me out my car has been down for months

You answered your own question. You have a missing mounting bolt and a leak on the rail. You haven't fixed the issue, but you have a problem. Now the cars been down a month and you don't know why? Cmon man, think about what your saying, fix the problem first, then see if it run better.

Take off the other bolt from the rail and take it with you to Lowes,Home depot,some hardware store..maybe advanced auto..whereever...matching it should NOT be hard. on whichever end the bolt was on,those two injectors aren't being pressed against the seal...of course there's a leak. If you had one of the telescoping magnetic rods you'd probably be able to get the original bolt out of the little dip it's probably still stuck in on the manifold....
