One of the Gateway members is having problems with his '92 using oil.

He has a Sebring S/C and noticed it was running rich, smoking and using

oil.  He's changed the fuel pressure regulator and had the compression

and bleed-down checked...both of which checked out normal.  The oxygen

sensor also checks good.  He's still seeing smoke and getting carbon

buildup on the rear bumper.  He thinks he's using about 1 qt. of oil/500

miles.   What's the best guess on the problem???  (We DON'T think it's

the plug wires!)
