    Have the engine timing checked (it is possible the timing belt setting got placed in wrong).

    A tune-up would entail changing the spark plugs, adjusting the ignition timing, and adjusting the valve tappets if needed (this means opening up the head so the mechanic can do it).

    On the carb overhaul, there are several shops in Kamuning Rd., QC that can do this (charge around P400-P600 the last time i checked). They open up the carb, clean it, change some parts if necessary, and set it back to spec. I went to "Kamuning Carb Specialists" before and their work was ok.

    BTW, it's unlikely your oil is causing this already so leave it alone first and go about checking the other facets mentioned.

    it's a fact of life with used cars that you'll end up replacing part after part after part... i sometimes tire of the routine, but since i'm unwilling to hock a chunk of my monthly income for several years, tiis na muna... :P
