Have you ever cleaned the CDR? It is the tuna can looking thing that is held on with two bolts. If you have a factory turbo, it is on the drivers side valve cover, if no turbo it is under the air cleaner on the back side of the intake throat. If it is gunked up it caan cause excessive oil consumption.
