you may want to do that TB throttle line mod, or at least look to see. take off your intake pipe, and have someone push the throttle down all the way. see if the tb is opening all the way. if it is, then check the throttle line to see if theres any slack. you can tighten or loosen it by loosening the 2 bolts on the gold throttle plate thats right above the intake mani. just follow the throttle line and you will see it. thats one thing to check. maybe also check if your filter is dirty and needs changing? just throwing out some ideas here.
 
could a cloged converter do this too. it was burning oil for over a yr before it got fixed thinking of getting gutted or at least gut and put a straight pipe through it.
