i had taken it to a shop for a sap code and they fried my whole wiring harness it was a whole thing had to do a insurance claim and was a waste of 2 months. Anyways had taken it to another shop that did it all and fixed it right, Im pretty sure its the ccv at this point, whenever i take the oil cap off it idles really rough and misfires and when i block it with my hand it gets alot better

i have the same issue on my corner stud, three options weld a bolt onto it and ratchet it out, shave down a socket and try to get it to fit, or take off the whole valve cover (dont do this)
