What's up guys, my car is burning oil, about a quart a week or 300 miles and I daily drive my car. When I drive at a higher RPM (not hitting Vtec) like going up a hill or something, it starts to blow black smoke out from the tailpipe which usually signifies I'm running rich. The oil burning is probably due to an overly rich condition which I can understand, but I tried a number of things already to try and fix it and still no change. When starting the car on a cold start it spits out soot onto the garage door, but doesn't quite "smoke up" like it does at higher RPM's, it's fairly clear like it's supposed to be. I don't want to start throwing random parts it doesn't need.
The engine is a D16y8 with currently 109k original miles, automatic trans, car is stock for the most part. The only modification is a cold air intake, headers, and recently got a test pipe and cat back exhaust because the cat died (but it's been running rich before any of the exhaust was modified).
My timing is correct, it's spot on and where it's supposed to be, my distributor is still original, I used a timing light to check ignition timing and it's spot on, checked fuel injectors resistance all at around 12 ohms, I always use NGK plugs and wires, the spark plugs look black, but not wet, more like dried carbon, oil change done every 3,000 miles with 5w-30,
Some of the things I've done to it at 100k include a new fuel filter, new air filter, new pcv, new valve cover gasket, new headgasket (as soon as it started to seep/leak), new power steering pump (started to leak), new radiator (original started to leak), new rack (play in steering), new oil pump (leaking), new front and rear main seals (due to leakage), timing belt and water pump and distributor o-ring at 80k.
All and any help is greatly appreciated, and yes I know I'm saving a single cam lol, but it's my only ride until I can get my swap plus it's still a baby for 109,000 miles
