The truck has about 180k miles, I bought it with 140k. It started running rough and throwing codes. I changed two plugs and ignition coils 8 and 6. Changed the oil which smelled of gas. The hose from Vapor Management Valve had rotted and was shredded so I replaced it temporarily with an air compressor hose I had on hand. Now the truck idles great, and drives great but looks like I am laying a smoke screen behind me. Also got the P2198 code again. My next step is to change out the remaining plugs and ignition coils. I've been lurking in this forum all week and this seems to be a common problem but I don't understand that after what I have done I see no improvement in the exhaust but the engine runs much better and need help on what to do next. Thanks in advance for any help.
