Good evening,
I would start by checking the fuel pressure as this is the most common reason for a code 300. low fuel pressure will not provide enough fuel to the injectors for proper fuel mapping.

How old are the tune up parts?

It is part of the pump.
you replace the fuel pump assembly.
no, a vacuum leak will not effect fuel pressure.
