ka running rich
has a new o2 sensor and coolant temp sensor. car runs fine but its fouling out plugs and thining the oil to the point where if I put 40 weight oil in it 3 days later its so thin that the lifters are ticking. And needless to say it gets shitty gas mileage.
Where should I start my troubleshooting? Im not sure where to look for the problem. Oh and the check engine light is not on.

probably around 90,000 or so the engine is a 96
does'nt run hot at all runs at around 130-160 Im putting a thermostat in it to get it to run at operating temp faster. but it ran rich before I took the thermostat out.

I think Shadytrickstah111 is right. Sounds exactly like a stuck injector. If it was something that effected all cylinders like a vacuum leak, sensor, or FPR, the car would run like ass. A stuck injector would only effect that cylinder. Couple that with the huge ammount of fuel needed to thin oil (daaang!!), and the only thing I can think of that fits the bill is a stuck injector.
