Is there any way to check this w/ a PFC?

Oil metering pumps CAN go bad, but when they do, the stock ecu will flash the CEL and will go into "limp home" mode. Don't forget that the dipstick L to F difference is 1.7 quarts, not 1 quart like on most cars. This can make consumption appear less...

Other than looking at the OMP voltage on the sensor screen (VMOP), I don't think so. One of the negatives of a standalone ecu is the loss of the "limp home" mode when things go wrong....

In the plus column, you can adjust the oil metering rate with the datalogit.

Any idea what the correct voltages should be across the correct RPM ranges?

(I realize that this is meaningless if your lines were leaking or something like that).

1.1V at idle, 1.1V - 4.2V across the rpm range. As you pointed out, this doesn't help you if the pump, lines, or injection nozzles are leaking...
