Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I changed oil in my 2001 C4 and now it won't start. I had key on to listen to radio while draining oil and jacked up car with all wheels off ground. Is there a computer glitch or way to reset to start car? What happened? Thanks in advance Bruce

POST 4Original post

I changed mine on my 2001 C4 Cab around 60k a few weeks ago and ended up with the engine running rough. I even had the CEL come on. Apparently the seal for the oil cap got compromised and threw out two codes which typically together mean some kind of air intake vacuum leak. I guess I could have solved my Cel issue by disconnecting the battery also I have a new oil cap O ring waiting for me at the dealer and meanwhile I put some white lithium grease on the old o ring.
