Hey, I removed my oil cap with the engine running the other day and it almost stalled. From what I understand this is normal/a good thing in some vehicles. Is this correct? It's a G16B

Thanks
Tom

Yeah I thought so, of all the cars I've owned I've never really noticed on them, they'd loose a few rpm but not almost stall.

Thanks for that.

Sounds like your PCV is stuffed, ive certainly never come across more than a real small few models that are affected by the cap being off

Yeah in audi, BMWs etc it's seems to be normal. But I'm not sure in the zook now you say that. From when I was last playing with the valve it clicked, and I'm 99% sure it's in the right way. I might have to double check.
