High fuel consumption and poor engine run with cold engine 1.4 Bj. 91 Hello, I have now brought my beautiful Essi Cabrio into his winter quarters and brought me a 91er 1.4er. But it makes me arm. It consumes 10 11 liters of Bezin with normal driving mode. There my 1.8 16V only needs 8-9 liters. Moreover, in cold conditions it takes bad gas, when you have passed through the feeling of braking. In the very cold condition in the standing gas you have the feeling that it runs only a uf 2-3 cylinders. For this it goes very well when it is warm. I thought first of all about the probes for intake air and cooling water, measured these, are i.e. have already thought about air filters and spark plugs, but do not look so bad yet. Have still thought about the Lambda probe and the map sensor in, what do you say? Have read already many times that Escort 1.4 drivers defend themselves over a consumption of 11 liters, usually it is taken as a speciality of the 1.4r, but can not be, a 71 HP car can not consume so much, there must not be something. Since the old E21 323i I used to drive, only 10 liters faded needed. Maybe you can help me, would be very grateful. Greeting Maverick911
