Junior92 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I went to remove my induction kit so I could change the filter and I noticed bit of oil inside throttle body. I just wiped it off. Then a week later I went to check again if there's any oil and unfortunately there was. So I removed the whole throttle body and found the oil comes from intake manifold. Now I'm not really a mechanic so I don't know what is happening here but a friend of mine told me there shouldn't be any oil near the throttle body so obviously something is wrong here. My car though does burn oil on VTEC, quite a lot I would say, about 2L per 500 miles. I don't know if this problem could be related, so could someone shed a light on this? I plan to get my car rebuilt in a few months but is it safe to drive like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Sound like a blockage or a valve in the crankcase breather not how it should be,or even a pipe split.!!so drawing oil up from sump and into inlet and burning it hence the oil consumption..alsoget a compression test done and compare cylinder readings.may not even need a rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I would suggest a small amount of oil in the intake is normal. It comes through pcv system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 2l every 500 miles is an awful lot of oil. It smoking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior92 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yes mate, every time I start it up, a puff of blue smoke comes out from exhaust and then loads when on VTEC.I have some other issues as well, misfiring and idle hunt. Every time I start up, the rev needle shoots up to 3k and stays there for 5 seconds then slowly within 5 seconds comes down to 1.5k and idles there. Whilst idling, I can see black gunk spitting out from the exhaust. Once the temperature needle is at 1/4, the idle needle revs constantly between 1k to 2k. The temperature needle doesn’t go above 1/4 so I think car is fully warmed up by then.I’ve noticed oil leaks from a few places, I’ve taken pictures to show.Also is that a crack I 've got on bottom right of throttle body or is it normal?I’ll borrow a compression test tool off a mate and then check. Like I said I'm not really a mechanic but would love to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Sounds like you have a few issues to address, but a bit of oil in the TB is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior92 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ok I need help again, was putting back the throttle body so I could take the car to garage to get them to check it but as soon I started it up, it idles at 2k and after a minute it goes above 3k. I rechecked everything and found a hole in this hose pipe which I think causese vacuum leak. Also I lost all my coolant whilst the pipe was disconnected So now I need a new hose pipe, does anyone know how to check what size it is or what way can I temporary fix to cover the hole?

noodels Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Could cut the end off <were the hole is>10-20mm and refit it.can also use that bit to measure it and fix if neededor get a new pipeor put your finger in the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
