tighten your oil filler cap

my C32 has been very sick for the pass few week, the compressor was getting cut out by the ECU alot, the idle was very rough, and one time I almost crashed when the engine stalled and shut down during acceleration out of a turn.
I took it to the garage suspecting the intercooler water pump and/or the secondary air pump. The diag computer show whole bunch of error...
An hour later we found out the oil cap was not tighten, it was on but was not tighten. We tighten it, reset the computer again, and the rough idle starts to disapper in just few minutes.
The car drives like a dream ever since.(except the ESP/BAS not avail. error)

They forgot. I couldn't believe it would affect the engine that much.
