i think he means the cap was causing a vacuum to occur on cooldown and collapsing his coolant hoses. Dont know how that affects the obd2 system other than delayed warmup or overheat causing the temps to change rapidly and the ecm fueling that the O2 sensors read

This is what i ment with the cap and for the OBD system.....
