Don't think I'm burning oil. The dealer did the treatment so I don't know what brand it was. Just something they spray in the intake. It has a MAF sensor. What do I look for on the spark plugs?

I know in my brother's audi tt, the MAF sensor is really sensitive. I'd get that looked at. My guess is they sprayed it from the filter, which would then go through the MAF. I'm not an expert though, so ask a mechanic first. MAF's are expensive. Maybe check the condition of the spark plugs. They can tell alot how the engine is running.

As for the MAF. Here's an article i dug up. but i can't help in diagnosing. keep in mind this is for audi/vw not honda.

Thank you, nuklear. I hope I can narrow the problem down without having to throw tons of money chasing a ghost.
