Oil normally helps cool the engine but if the engine is running too hot the oil will tend to burn away. No idea on normal running temp

hey i took off my oil cap yesturday whilest checking my oil and stuff when the car was runnig... and the car almost died it was really strange ;s anyone kwno why it would do this? could it have soemthign to do with way to much oil(i never put this much in ;s my oil came back to me.. ) ??

Pretty shore thats normal you will see a hose from tapet cover to intake manifold thishose contains a one way valve. when your car is at idle a vacuum will appear, if you had a vac gauge you could see this, this valve allows any pressure in tappet cover to escape and is burnt through engine (environmental thing). by removing thid hose you create a manifold leak causing ****ty idle. by removing oil cap you are proberly doing the same thing. What was the problem with the sparks earlier?
