Funny thing was, this car burnt through almost 2L of oil in around 6-7k kms of driving. But there’s nowhere near enough smoke coming out of the exhaust for it to be a ring issue. Most likely something with the crank ventilation system

Hey mate thanks for the advice, I swapped the PCV valve with the stock NA one. It turns out there’s is no vacuum whatsoever in the system. The PCV seems fine but there’s isn’t any suction on it.

Hey guys. I’ve been seeing occasional white smoke coming out of my exhaust here n there and excessive oil consumption out of my sportivo 7A FE Corolla. The car doesn’t smoke up constantly or when I floor it so I’m hoping it’s nothing to do with piston rings. What could be the issue? Oil return line? PCV valve problems?

Yeah that’s unfortunate I’ve also realised that after high revs the barely catches idle and prevents stalling. So it actually might be an IAC problem or a vacuum leak. The car also idles lower ones its warm too causing the alternator to not recharge effectively. Might get the intake checked out.

Update, I just got the car serviced and the battery replaced but I’m still suss on the car stalling. Maybe it’s the ECU or the alternator

I have a 2001 sportivo turbo and I experimented with the performance aspect of the car. Once the car was under load, the car suddenly stalled and I had to use the ignition to turn it back on. The idle battery levels also dropped as well. I was thinking this was a distributor/alternator and/or fuel pump problem. Does anyone have any insight on this.
