Webby,Suggest you use search .There is plenty of AOS info to answer your questions.
Briefly,& please search theses issues:
1.Check for excessive vacuum at the oil filler cap .Use a slack tube manometer or modern equivalent -or just your hand !
2.Clean all the oil soaked components internally after you replace(?) the AOS.Particularly the MAF.
3.Make sure the oil filler tube is not cracked.It will leak oil/vacuum.
4.Be careful not to disturb the brittle vacuum lines. Be prepared to replace any damaged vacuum lines.
