I did a little research myself on google and to the best of my abilities, I think I must rebuild the engine. Im not a car person, so keep the jargon down low, please. I flipped my Subaru Outback Legacy 98. Afterwards I was told that I needed to clean out the air flow thing that would sit in the middle towards the back. Air intake thingy?? sorry, guys.... Its not the air filter, but connected to it. I believe that the air filter is on the left side connected to the big air box Im trying to describe. So I was told to clean it out. I took it off and found that there is oil clogged in what I believe is called the throttle body. Now considering that I dont know what a throttle body is, its the direct main metal connector which is about 4 inches in diameter coming perfectly centered from the back side (where the air thing is) to the front (where the big metal thing is that I call the throttle body). So Im under the suspicion that theres no way to clean out the oil from the throttle body without rebuilding the engine. Theres oil all in the throttle body and the air intake. So what do you think? I appreciate the help and Im sorry I dont know anything about whats going on.
