If the idling speed is surging, it usually is caused by vacumn leakages, faulty Fast Idle Thermo Valve ( FITV ), Idle Air Control ( IAC)valve, idling speed set too high, lack of coolant in system or cloggecd coolant hoses to the IAC and/or FITV.
The TPS is less likely to be the cause.

How is the oil level now?
How many miles have you travelled?
It is surprising that the oil is disappearing with no visible signs an plausible explanation.
If you have not travelled much yet, mark the oil level and monitor the situation for a while to reconfirm the amount of loss.

With so much oil disappearing, it is a wonder the exhaust is not smoking like a fogging machine. If you run the engine for less than 30 minutes, then it is possible the smoke would not be that much.
If the exhaust is black and oily, then yes, the oil is getting to the exhaust and it could be the oil rings.

Possible causes for oil disappearing are :
1. Worn Valve seals.
2. Oil leaks.
3. Piston rings.
Apart from the above, there are no other possible causes.

Ok I believe I found it
while I was takin my engine apart and got down to my pistons I decided to clean the back of my block and when I was doing that I noticed some sort oil catch tank and I also noticed it wasnt bolted down at all just chillin there for no reason
and I remembered when I was taking my intake bracket off that I took out a few bolts on the back side I guess I didnt notice that one was supposed to go back in that so its been loose the whole time just drainin my oil everytime I drive
that makes sense to me how I lose so much oil everytime I drive and I dont see no smoke or nothin
so I believe I found it once I get my car all put back together ill let you know if that was it or not but I strongly believe that was it

That is the blowby box and certainly would be draining your engine oil with not much signs under the vehicle a the oil would be dripping onto the ground.
Hope this solves the problem.
Good luck.
