Default Wanna hear a funny story?

So I changed my timing belt, radiator, and all my coolant hoses.

Went for the 'ol Test Drive. Felt a slight hesitation/wobble. There is also a strange, almost burning oil smell...
1/2 way into it, look to my brother, "Hey, did you torque down my wheel?"
"Uhh...No, did you?" "OH ****!"
Pulled into a parking lot. I call my friend, so he can swing by w/ the proper tools to get the wheels safe.
Then I see my car is crying...Crying oil. Oil is dripping down, appearing to come from the lights...Open the hood.
My oil cap fell off sometime along the way

I fricking Rule...

And then my EACV happened to crap out, replaced it w/ a brand new one, idle stops bouncing, but won't lower...Assumed the Code was for the EACV...check the code...6. Temp Sensor...
"OH ****!" I removed the wire harness w/ the temp sensor when I was changing all my coolant hoses. Look at it..."pop." Everything is ok...just needed to be but in all the way.
