You really NEED to get the oil out of the galley, especially since you've pulled the plug wires out with the oil in there... it WILL cause misfires.

o no i pulled them off the coil but i agree it needs cleaned out. the 5 minutes i looked at it tonight haven shown me nothing but tomorrow i can put it in the garage and see. im thinking there is probably a broken wire somewhere in the harness that runs by the thermostat housing considering all of the sensors in question run by there. that or a bad afm. but until then thanks again for the help.

well in the morning im gunna check the plugs and for openings or shorts in the harness but i have a bad feeling. after looking at the tsrm troubleshooting guide, all for codes have one possible fault in common, the ECU. ill keep my fingures crossed and hope i just have to repair a wire or something but it's not looking good for now. even just the word ECU sounds expensive.

The ECU is a possible source for EVERY code... it seldom is the problem... unless you've been doing some creative wiring.

ok well i went out and pulled my plugs. 4 out of the six were DRIPPING WET with what smelled like dirt mixed with burnt oil. it does burn some so that makes sense. i cleaned the plugs off and removed any corrosion from the wires and reinstalled everything.......RUNS GREAT. better than ever. next month (ill be away with the army for a month) im going to get after it really good and do valve cover seals, oil galley plug seals, plugs, wires, and an oil change. thanks for the help i appreciate it very much. ill let u know if anything starts up again

Oil in the galley has nothing to do with burning oil (unless both are a symptom of a severely cracked head). The oil got on the plugs when you pulled them. Plugs come out and oil and dirt pour in.

I'm glad the problem was a simple one!
