sounds like you blew out your piston rings....the reason why your car dies is because youur motor wont hold compression and the blue smoke is from the oil mixing with the air/fuel mixture and its getting burned

its probably your gromets. you can get those at a autozone or kragen for like 20 bucks. its pretty easy to do.

sounds like ur rings are shot, it has to take alot of oil to make ur car just die out like that at idle.

it happened to me one time, cuz i cracked two of my pistons running a turbo
