Slight miss at idle, no power throughout driving, almost stops when pulling hill then downhill runs smooth when less pedal pressure. Have replaced plugs wires, coil pack air filter fuel filter, fuel pump checks ok. Replaced computer, crankshaft sensor ok, code 332, relpaced egr, vacume switch and pressure sensor, maf sensor. Catalytic converter ok, replaced temp sensor, injectors working, nothing helps

Have you performed a compression test? 176,000 it's not unheard of to need engine repair...

I can't really say about the oil use, manufacture's say 1 qt per 2000 miles is OK, I think it's indicative of oil ring problems. What was the compression readings?
