Voom?
I just arrived at home and parked my car. The engine was still on.
The engine sounded like i was pressing the gas and then letting go. Again and again.
Like someone was riviting it up. VOomm......VOOooommm VOoooom.
So I decide to check it in the morning since it was late. So I warmed it up and its not doing the Vooom. Now it runs little rough and I hear soft boom sounds. Its not really a knocking. Sounds like small combustion noise at random.
I asked my friends and they think its the ECU or a Fuel Senor problem.
Please Help.

Re: Voom? (blinx9900)
LOL... sorry Im still learning
Anyways, I was told it was the intake manifold gasket.
Now I need to learn how to replace it or they will charge me $450.
Can anyone point me anywhere?
Thanks!

Get a second opinion, first off the throttle body takes at most, 30 minutes to take off. The gasket is around $30 if that much from Honda. So your getting taken for a ride, and its probably not even the gasket. Spray some bubble water around the throttle body to see if you can spot any air rushing in.

Re: (Syndacate)
THanks for everyones advice. I greatly appreciated it.
I detached the IACV and looked at the filter/gasket. It was clean.
I dont think I have enough knowledge to take and clean a TB.
Anyone in the Los Angeles Area that can train this noob?
Thanks

That's a good way to confuse him! He said intake manifold gasket not throttle body gasket.
OP: I would definitely start by cleaning the throttle body, IACV and intake manifold with some carb cleaner. It's just a few bucks at the parts store. Also check for vacuum leaks because they usually cause an engine to rev and drop, rev and drop.
Edit: You don't have to take the throttle body off to clean it. Just spray it off with some carb cleaner.
