Hey guys,
ive been having issues with my bigport 4age 16v throttle body lately as its not shutting correctly, so i changed to a new one. i proceeded to drive it for a few days with the new Throttle body, but i realised the hole leading to the accessory thing was not plugged in, and it was idling high (constantly at around 1.5 to 2k rpm) and doing the stupid revving up and down that happens when the hole is not plugged in. when i drove it home with the new throttle body in i pulled up in my driveway and there was oil everywhere, and pissing out from under the hood. i looked under and noticed that the oil looked like it had shot from the dipstick hole, even thought the dipstick remained in its hole. im thinking that oil pressure has built up some how and shot out dipstick, then its fallen back into place. im wondering if there are any oil pressure regulators on the throttle body, or if there is anything i can do to prevent this happening when im on the freeway or something so i dont cook my engine.
thanks
