I looked at the coils didnt see any cracks,but they were pretty greasy,the other odd thing is when I throttle it or rev'd it up it sounds like it sucks air like a carbureted engine
and it definitely runs rich you could smell it easily when its cold out,.??

Flmont, in addition to changing your fuel cap, check for vacuum leaks and I would change the oil cap (mine had a bad gasket causing vacuum leaks). One other item I would check is the oil filler tube, make sure it is intact.

well I did new plugs and coils on bank 2,., cylinders 4 5 and 6,..and it did'nt change a thing,So I fiddled around looking for a place to use my vacuum gauge , I find a little plastic line under the intake...I gauge it reads nothing I could not build any vacuum at all take the TB and tubing apart,..find oil in those intake tubes and the TB plate was all greasy ,..then I found a small black plastic tube shoved into a rubber hose,it didnt pull vacuum either,.So Iam going to rebuild those vacuum connections and then check it again..Also the AOS is about a year old. thanks Frank
