pull your plug wires one at a time and see if there is any moisture or oil in the chamber. if there is than your gasket is leaking. a temp fix is to blow the moisture out of the chamber with air, make sure to put a rag or something over the whole so you dont get all greased up. if that doesnt work check your spark plugs. I had the same problems and I replaced the plugs and got the moisture out of the chambers and it fixed the problem. this is only a temp fix for the larger problem of the leaking gasket so be aware.

thanks for the reply. Yes I do have oil in the plug well of cylinder 5 since my rear valve cover gasket is leaking. I have cleaned out the oil and it seems to be running much better but the problem is there very occasionally. Also I pulled codes 2,3, 10 and 15. Not sure if these mean anything in terms of the problem?

search the site somewhere there is a listing of the codes. I think that it might be in the faq v6 forum
