FRST isn't equipped with MAF.TPS would create problems especially in half throttle and perhaps would increase consumption.What really worries me,is that 2 of the plugs are oily and black.Normaly,spark plug color is brownish,black is overfueling.White is overheating usually.But if 2 of the plugs is oily and black,means that you have some oil in the cylinder.I would start with a compression test,and depending on the readings I would take the head off to see the headgasket.It could be also piston rings...oil in the cylinders could be from stem seals too,but the engine smokes a bit on startup and then clears.After that it runs as it should,till the next time...is it smoking?If yes what colour do you see and under what circumstances?
