Rough Idle When I remove oil cap
Hello fellow mini'ers,
I recently have been having trouble with my cooper s, i had to replace my thermostat housing twice. Originally I thought i had a blown head gasket because when i remove my oil fill cap while the car is running it seems to choke and rough idle and will die if it is off long enough, although i haven't left it off long enough to let it die. Basically I'm asking if this is normal or not, from the little mechanical information i know, this does not seem to be normal or correct. If anybody has any insight or advice for me that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Hello from a fellow Michigan'der representing Bloomfield Township
Like the previous poster said, opening the oil cap essentially shifts the intake vacuum to atmospheric pressure and you'll get a VERY rough and stubly idle.
Perhaps we'll see you at the Michigan MINI Motoring Club planning event next Saturday. It's a Motor City MINI.
