Re: help!
Gas in the intake? Probably a failed fuel pressure regulator. Pull the vacuum line off it and see if there is gas in it. There shouldn't be. If there is, replace it ASAP. That fuel can cause a big backfire and break things and set off a fire.

It could also be a leaky injector. Is one spark plug more fouled than the rest?
