In my case, the throttle body was quite clean. I had no smoking issue at start-up, but it was heavy after the engine warmed up to operating temp, and had to idle at stop signs. Oil consumption was heavy at a rate of about 1qt/400 Km, whatever that is in miles, you would think it was an old 2 stroke engine.......
back to normal now.
