    Good evening mga bossing.

    Nagpa-tuneup and change oil ako kanina sa may Petron. Pinadamay ko na rin i-check or linisin yung throttle body and cable kasi medyo matigas yung gas pedal ko. Nakita nung mekaniko yung tagas dun sa throttle body tapos sabi niya "kumakain na pala ng oil 'to". Probable cause daw eh nasa piston so tinanong ko kung kelangan i-overhaul? Oo daw at kelangan ibaba ang makina.

    - Honda Civic 2003 LXi AT
    - mileage: 88k
    - 1 week pa lang sakin itong kotse
    - IIRC tuyo lahat yung mga pinalitang spark plug
    - wala rin ako napapansing oil leak sa garahe
    - wala rin ako napapansing puting usok (madaling makita 'to since nasa basement ang parking ko at madilim)
    - prior to the maintenance today my only issue (or at least what I was aware of) was with the gas pedal not being as responsive to my step as it should be

    Mga bossing, I need your advice and opinion about this. Do I have a serious engine trouble para ibaba na ang makina?

    Thank you very much.

    (Halos kapitbahay ko lang yung Rapide, pero nabasa ko na yung horror thread nila dito so....May talyer ba na okay malapit dito sa Katipunan?)

    check if your pcv valve is clean. if it is coked, you probably can clean it with carburetor cleaner and reinstall or replace with a new pcv valve. check your thermostat too, if it is stuck open, not only will it sludge up, it will burn more fuel and accumulate carbon it the combustion chambers to name a few

    Ayun, will do so. Thank you sir.

    (Update: I now see some leak on the floor. I'm currently using a semi-synthetic engine oil if it matters.)

Oil in throttle body?
