2004 Subaru Forester XT
I had my subaru forester's oil changed at a dealer and several weeks later the check engine light came on. Upon inspection I realized they hadn't put the oil cap back on after the oil change. The dealer re-set and the engine light and apologized. A month later my car began to idle rough and the check engine light came on again. Since then my check engine light has come on 4 more times. Each time I have paid for some kind of repair. They keep telling me it is because of an engine misfire. They have replaced spark plugs and coils at me expense by I continue to get the same check engine light for a misfire.
My question is, could an engine misfire be related to me driving my car for an extended period of time with the oil cap off? Thanks for your help.
