Yep.

While you're in there, check your crankcase breather for the presence of
oil. In the absence of oil, the throttle body will acquire a thin skin of
dry black soot that doesn't do much harm. If oil is being pumped through
the breather into the intake, this will mix with the soot and create a
gummy substance that will stick up the throttle.

If you discover oil coming from the crankcase breather, your PCV valve is
plugged.
