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!
