1997 E36 323i advice pls

Still trying to track down this damn running issue
description of problem, hard to start will turn over for a second try to fire but stop kind like a compression lock up, when running will only accelerate with power after 2.5k-3k revs and at idle if i give the engine a slight rev i get a hooting noise from under the manifold and from the oil cap if i try to remove it.
quick update on what i have done so far,
1. cleaned icv
2. replaced oil/air separator and replaced hose to sump
3. replaced crank sensor
4. checked coil ohms (all ok)
5. replaced spark plugs

i am intending on removing intake to clean and check for broken vacuum hoses
is there anything else i should check for while the intake is off or any other place i should check for faults
thanks
