when running at full throttle for a while it will shut down like you turned the switch off after you stop starts back up and runs good untill full throttle for while will run like a champ all day around 55mph but around 60 to 73mph for any period of time like you turned the switch off.smokes alot when youre at idel and uses a lot of oil thanks

when was the last time you cleaned your VST?
cleaned AND tested your O2 sensor?

I would also check/replace all three lift pumps and clean the VST filter.
your describing a classic loss of fuel rail pressure and a classic case of a ruptured lift pump diaphram.
on the oil,check the link on the oil pump control rod, if it breaks the pump goes wide open. but that wont shut it down.
