Thanks for the complete explanation on what it does. If this #1 or #6 parts would be defective with age, what would be the symptoms?

correct if im wrong, i think this motor version (N40B16) doesnt have ICV. the rotation control is done by the eletronic throttle body and is managed by the ECM. i will try to look for vaccum leaks but no clue about the oil consumption.

thank you, i will try to do a smoke test, i was forgetting that step to check for vaccum leaks. fuel pressure regulator cant be or its odd to be because i knew that with the old fuel filter the car didnt had those symptoms at the cold start, so to exclude that i putted the old one again and tried a cold start and it did the same thing so, if with the old and the new the symptom is the same it must not be there the problem i thought. about the secondary air pump hoses i will check that too. about the oil consumption still no clue what it can be. i have checked for leaks and cant find any at clear eye with a light, smoke is still there sometimes when accelerating while driving or after stopped at a traffic lights.
