What could cause an engine to use excess oil?
A couple things can most commonly wore piston rings which cause the engine to burn off oil that is allowed to leak into a cylinder where combustion occurs. Could also be a faulty engine seal allowing oil to leak when parked or during operation. I would check for leaks first.

Why doesnt your 1996 Saturn pick up speed as you merge onto the highway It hesitates even if you floor it It feels like its going to backfire or something but it doesnt actually backfire?
there are alot of components that can cause this action. my first question to you would be, Is the check engine light on? Does it ever come on while accelerating? for diagnostic purposes only, if there is no check engine light, try and get the vehicle scanned anyways. sometimes there are pending codes that will not trigger the check engine light to come on. if you get a code you can diagnose further, and more accurately. as for the components that could cause hesitation during accelleration, i have included a list. Faulty/Failing Ignition control module Faulty Ignition coil(s) Faulty ignition wire(s) Faulty Spark plug(s) Faulty injector(s) Faulty Air Intake Tempature Sensor Failing fuel pressure regulator Failing Idle Air Control valve Failing Throttle Position Sensor Failing Oxygen Sensor(s)
Why would white smoke be coming from the tailpipe of the truck and how can the problem be fixed?
It's burning oil, does this happen when you first start it or does it do it all the time ? if only when you first start it, you could have bad valve guide seals and then they need to be replaced, if it does it all the time the engine is running it may be time to rebuild the engine.

Can firewire cables be faulty?
You bet. One of the first troubleshooting steps you should try when something isn't working the way it should is to check the "physical" connections, including power and data cables. Eliminate those first. A faulty firewire cable can cause a myriad of intermittent problems.
What is a CMOS checksum error?
First cause is possibly a hardware change. Reboot at least once to see if the message clears. The most likely cause is the CMOS battery getting weak or has lost its power. This can be changed according to your motherboard's manual. Other much less likely causes I've seen reported are new hardware being incompatible or faulty, or a motherboard faulty. These can cause you to panic but are not the likely cause, but should not be ruled out. Try the battery replacement first.
