ive had this car since august........a month into it by oil pressure was very low and we found out the car had very little oil in it..........filled it up, and pressure was great.........2000-3000 miles later, oil pressure starts to drop again, below normal levels.........measured the oil, and was 1.5 quarts short.....topped it off, and again, pressure was great. why am i burning oil? i have no visible leaks.........i did get a diagnostic done last week for something else and found out i have a faulty throttle position sensor.........could this be a cause for my bad oil consumption? im pretty sure the bad TPS is whats causing my misfire at high rpms and overall sluggishness of the car, so im wondering if it could be the culprit for the oil too. someone told me i could have a bad oil pressure switch would could be leaking oil or something while im driving which is why i cant find any leaks. what do you guys think?
