oil cap fell off
my oil cap fell off and now i hear this rattling sound .. i took the car to the shop and they put it on the lift ... nothing was found ... im going crazy with that noise and i know for a fact it im having troble accelerating the car.. ive read on the forums that maybe its on top of the transmission, and you need to lower the trans. in order to get it....
is there anyway i could remove it without taking it back to the shop or lowering the transmission
thanks

any info... would be helpful

Yeah mine fell off right when i got my car, i just bought a new one and figured it was gone for good. But low and behold:

mine was inbetween the firewall and the top of the tranny case... i got a hangar wire and fished around from up top... but then got at it from underneith and eventually found it! trust me, the noise was making me go mad... i know the feeling... just persevere and keep fishing!

Put the car on ramps, and go fishing. The cap WILL NOT fall out on it's own, this has happened to many s2ks. You don't need to take anything apart. Just get a bright light and search for it.

The lack of acceleration has nothing to do with the oil cap loss.

Put new cap on, check oil level, go hit it on some curvy backroads, she'll come out, guaranteed.
