Excessive fuel consumption

[lady-turbo-wrx]

Hello

I know I've not been around much lately,only im having a problem with fuel consumption on my 95 WRX and thought you lovely people could tell me why
As apart from the smell of fuel occasionally,when I floored it,she was pretty good on fuel,i only realised how bad it had gotten when I put £20 in an I went around 40 mile,and it was gone...but the smell of fuel is more frequent now..

But must say,i only take her out maybe every 2 weeks,but shes a bugger to get going,takes about 20 minutes to warm up to running temp,even then she hesitates a bit for a few miles when driving..
Have been advised to change Lambda & Temp sencor but before doing either of these,thought I would get your opinion...

Thanks Trace x

Hi sounds like lambda unless the fans come on straight away then coolant sensor

Temp sensor. bet ya! runs crap when cold?? both my old 94 wrx's needed these. cheap enough and easy to fit. just a little tight getting your hands on it. get a genuine one of import car parts. If i remembered there around £30.
