Welcome to DF
You most likely have a vacuum leak. Check all your hoses for connections. You may have either a 2.0 or 2.4Liter engine. Also ck the throttle blade to see if it stuck open.

ok soo what and where is the throtle blade and do these cars have a history of burning oil or leaking oil.

Any old car is going to leak sometime. It's like us getting liver spots and gray hair! LOL!

Are there any trouble lights on the dash on? If so, take it to a shop and have them read the codes.

ok but i have a reader but no codes have been comeing up, so im kinda stumper, have you taken the front bumper off a stratus, or breeze before there is a black vacuum box with oses coming out of it and then there is a pump looking thing that it is hooked to and the hoses go into from that, there is a vacuum elbow that has a hole in it could that be stock or does that line need to be completly sealed??? i can hear air coming through it and a lot soo im not sure sorry for writting soo much
