Throttle body
The problem I am experiencing is that the throttle body on my 1994 accord
EX is full of carbon deposits. I cleaned the throttle body last month . I only drive about a thousand miles a month. What could be the cause of this problem. Thank you in advance... |

If the latter, your cause is lack of timely oil changes, and thus sludge and a plugged PCV valve. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Dry, dusty carbon is normal. However, if you feel there is enough in there to affect throttle response and idle speed, look for air leaks into the intake tube, and change your air filter with a new OEM one. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
