Thanks guys!

So when you guys have your car running and you "listen" to your oil cap, yours is silent, correct? I only ask because I just read a few other threads that say the hissing noise is supposed to be there... so now I'm really confused.

I'm now wondering if I got a CEL because the oil cap was in the half-closed position and NOT allowing air in. I left it in the fully-closed position when I discovered it half-closed last week, and the CEL since turned off.

I'll still try to pull the codes and post them here. I think we have a dry week coming up next week, so hopefully I'll have the car out again then.
