Were you referring to the coolant cap (which I ordered this morning) or the oil cap? I am still concerned about why the seal on the oil system makes such a difference in the way the car runs. I know coolant systems Are closed systems, but I’ve never heard oil systems were as well. Thanks for your help Starter986.
I stand corrected. That "4" IS for the coolant cap. You are correct.

Me thinks that if your idle problem resolved... your oil cap is fine... you're good to go. Jeff is one of the members to whom you'll want to pay careful attention and... as he mentioned about the cooling problem... keep an eye on that and report back.

Cheers!
