Try cleaning the IAC (idle air control valve) Do you have a stock air box? i had the same problem. i gutted my air box and added a K&N and cleaned IAC and problem went away.

Amsoil for sure 10/30 ATM is probabaly there best oil.

The reason you burn oil is because you have an AP1.

I was using this for a bit and was informed that it isn't that great of an oil the 10/30 ATM is far better for dealing with the high temps. It has the best NOACK rating of there oils. Since you are S/C I wouldn't run anything else.
