Did you happen to check what was your vacuum gauge reading @idle ?

that makes sense too, i have to bury my foot all the way to the floor to get it to downshift unless I do it manually...Compression test (Wet and Dry)
Leak Down test
Check TPS
Check O2 sensors
Limiting to 3200 RPM would make me think clogged cats or improper throttle cable and trans cable adjustment and/or TPS adjustment.
negative, I have not done so yet.Did you happen to check what was your vacuum gauge reading @idle ?
PCV seems good, it's new from Toyota. I did take it off and shake it. I can hear the ball inside move. The pcv goes to a catch can. The catch can has a small dip stick, if I remove the dip stick while it's idling there is a significant amount of vacuum.Blocked PCV ?
Can pressurise the crank case and cause high oil consumption as oil is pushed past rings and valve stem seals
A side issue is you’re running 5- multiweight oil when even up here in WA I run 10-30 M1.
I know what the oilcap says, but if you survey owners here, most are running a little thicker.
Granted, it’s no cause to eat 2.5gal of oil, but on my new(er) stem seals I lost ~1/4qt between 3K oil changes of 5-30 M1 prior to the switch, and now I lose nothing you can measure on the dipstick with 10-30 M1 and same 3K intervals.
so I'll have to re-check the timing, I just actually put it on one of the pages from my ultra gauge it's labelled "timing advance" it is reading a value of 5.00 when idling.Maybe a silly question but have you checked your timing at all. May not be the cause of your oil consumption issues but it may attribute to your power loss issues potentially. I know you have a 95 but on my 94 I was having issues with emissions and it seemed like I was burning more oil than usual. I re-timed the truck and it made a huge difference. I set it back to 3° BTDC per the manual because it was bouncing between 5 and 10. My emissions issues were solved and my oil consumption went down to maybe 1 quart every 2000 to 2500 miles. Also I know some will say its bull crap or snake oil but I have had pretty decent results from using BGs 3 pack system cleaner with the 44k, MOA and EPR.

also I pulled tps sensor up and it's showing a Max of 78% when pedal is at the floor.
I buried my foot on the throttle earlier and noticed it basically red lines and shifts at 3400-3600rpm.
if in turbo button you mean pwr, no I do not currently, but had to use it on the hills.Do you have the turbo button on?
SO far, nothing out of the ordinary other than the gap may be a little tight.
here it is, the same, but oil coming from the TB when I removed the intake hose.SO far, nothing out of the ordinary other than the gap may be a little tight.
The white tips could indicate a little lean, but with the black on the bottom of the housing, it looks OK.
A few deposits on #6, but that looks like a slight amount of oil ash.
How's #4 look?
Your B1S1 O2 sensor is reading stupid rich. It should be cycling around 450 mV rather than the 750 shown.
That will cause the ECM to pull fuel in efforts to lean it out. I'd bet money that your long term fuel trim numbers are reflecting efforts to lean it out hence a drastic loss of power.
