so far so good. cleaning really helped a lot. i haven't driven much with the car yet. obserbahan ko pa. pero driving home from your shop last saturday:

- idling is erratic, bumababa
---> idling is more stable. yes, it still goes up and down, pero gradual na. i know this is normal na, and it's because the aircon turns on/off when the desired temperature is met.

- hirap ang hatak when accelerating
---> almost same na with aircon turned off

- after depressing the accelerator, idle goes down na halos mamatayan na ako ng makina and there is a clicking sound na parang sinisinok ang makina
--> no more hiccups. well, it still does, pero it's the aircon turning on/off. pero unlike before na it does this rapidly. parang tic tic tic tic. now, it's just once. sometimes wala pa nga. i guess this is normal na.

- every now and then, meron yung clicking like above (feeling ko pag nag-engage na ulit yung sa aircon)
--> see above

- there is this soft whistling sound coming from the aircon vent
--> meron pa rin. pero i guess this is an aircon problem na talaga. tingin ko may butas somewhere or overcharge ng freon. this is a job for mang mario naman.

your mechanics are really perfectionists. ayaw sa pwede na. hindi nasatisfy yung nagwowork sa car ko until the idling is just right. a little over/under rpm is not enough.

maraming salamat sir. will probably be back soon. due na for changeoil eh.

tama cla, ganyan din sa gen1 crv ko dati, solution? remove throttle body then linis talaga, grabe andaming dirt nakadikit sa loob, after that, swabeng swabe na uli ang idle

iyan din siguro kailangan ng car ko. lumalakas sa gaso. change oil+tune up+t/b cleaning...

OT: panu mo malalamn kung mahina ang hatak ng car mo? sa case ko kc just want to check na rin kung may problem ang Car ko,

San ba magadang magpacheck ng Underchassi at Engine.. ung parang trabaho sa Rapide.. pero hindi taga ung price nila.. OT: ulet, main problem ko rin kc is may Kalog na ung Car ko

update:

just want to be assured na aircon problem na lang ito.

with the aircon turned off, everything is normal na.

with the aircon turned on, sometimes there is a whistling sound that can be heard coming from the aircon vent. when this is heard, humihina ang hatak ng kotse. when this sound turns off, normal na ulit ang takbo ng kotse. i'm thinking:

1. kulang sa freon
2. may butas sa hose (thus nababawasan ang freon)
3. high pressure

have the freon checked to see if the charging is correct. any a/c shop should be able to check assuming they have a gauge.

brought the car kina mang mario last saturday. wala naman problem. pinalinis ko na lang aircon.

now the car's idle is very smooth.

mang mario + speedyfix = smooth ride

note: during the time na nagloloko yung idle/aircon, my gas consumption went up from around 9.3km/L to to around 8.4 km/L (was able to test this kasi sakto sa full-tank). that's around 40kms lost because of the dirty throttle body and aircon.
