You seem to have a lot of "furio problems" If i were you i would think of them all and group them into one thread.
And about the fuel problem. Check all of the fuel unions. So tank, filter, rail etc etc. Check fast as it will evaporate pdq

i would say its a new sensor! not sure which one... possibly lambda as mine had high emissions on mot because of it! could try give it a good service, air filter, oil, oil filter, spark plugs! might make it better :)

Whack one of the plugs out and have a look at the electrode. If it is really black and coked up then running rich will be the problem

lol its a shitroen and french so i expect these problems lol.. i just bought the car dirt cheap as a project as i got a bit of spare time on my hands and looking to have a bit of tinker time with it lol..

well i will give the plugs a check 2moz, ill also do a clean up on sensors and the TB.
i think i will clean the lambdas b4 replacing as they dont come cheap and dont want any universal bits on there tbh,,,

any other tips for 2moz

Fixed it now

cleaned every thing liek sensors and TB

turned out to be 2 things faulty temp sensor and lower lambda sensor a bit broke (well snapped wiring so i got a new 1 fitted)
