Using too much fuel

Have it scanned for both hard and soft codes. Replace the plugs. Check the plug wires.

8/8/16 we are having it scanned tomorrow the auto parts scanner does not seem to read enough into the cars symptoms

Has the engine been tuned up recently? Also I would check for a blown fuel pressure regulator.

Here is a guide for you.

Car is being used for work fuel pressure regulator not leaking fuel when vacuum line disconnected. Am suspecting maybe a injector wire shorting or the vacuum modulator valve because i neglected to mention that 2nd gear does shift hard. Will keep considering all your suggestions thanks to all and i will be back to confer.

Here is a guide to check the injectors

Okay

Car is showing these codes:

P0112 p1171 p0340

P0112 p1171 p0340

P1171 - Fuel system lean during acceleration

P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 or single sensor)

P0112 - Intake Air Temperature [IAT] Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

The cam code makes me think the engine has jumped time. Do a compression test and if low check the timing chain. here is a guide and diagram so you can check it out.

Okay will check thanks

Have not done compression test yet we got it scanned with a bigger scanner same codes show up so we inspected boots for spark plugs and thet were bad losing spark got them replaced still missing there is a sound coming from manifold thats souns like a light knocking suspecting a valve or a torn gasket.

Please do a compression test to see if one of the cylinders is low on compression which would mean you have a leaking intake valve.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Spark plug boots were arcing we changed them but still have original problem i neglected to mention a sound its making and it sounds like a valve. Metal on metal dry tapping. Have not done compression test yet, thats next.

Have you done a compression test yet?
