So im in limp mode too........only code i have is p0037 ( secondary o2 sensor because of no cat ) but to add to my scenario, im burning lots of oil....like a qt every 40 miles......smoke screen exhaust like seafoam, and oil in the tail pipe.....what the he'll?? Omp maybe?? Doesn't that usually throw a cal code????

check your intake for oil

Running a catch can with no return to the intake.

I'm still convinced that it has something to do with the omp. So I decided to try and adjust the turning on it. I loosen both screws and turned it a lil bit at a time. After about 15 times of going on under the car in back in the car to test it, still bad. I decide to pull the switch off and check it out. It's very hard and grinding to turn and also get stuck and will not return back. Hopefully this is the problem. With this bad sensor I'm hoping the ecu is telling the omp to dump maximum oil amount into the engine. I hear this sensor is the same throttle position sensor from mx6 626 millennia and mx3. Off to the auto parts store.... thoughts???

So i went to auto zone and looked up the throttle position sensor for the kl series motor in 626, millennia, and mx6 but the picture looked nothing like it...hmmm anyone got an omp they wanna part out??

Found a used omp on ebay. So when it gets here i wil take the sensor off and try it......

Glad im talking to myself on here....haha

so it was a bad position sensor on the OMP. replaced it and its golden like a shower. no more oil burning, im guessing it was running full open with out the sensor hooked up.
