we have the same car, i would have a mechanic check the ECU. thats the first step in finding out what is wrong and why its burning so mutch fuel. it could also be your air filter, but then agian, you wouldnt be burning a tank of gas a day. well hope you get it fixed.

Have you tried replacing the fuel filter? It is located under the cars center on the left side ..
You will find it alongside the main high pressure fuel pump on a metal
support plate held up with 3 bolts.
Remove the 3 bolts with a 10mm
socket wrench to lower the plate. Place a catch pan below the filter to
catch any leaking fuel.
Be careful not to get fuel in you eyes or
running down your arms. Remove the 2 bolts holding the banjo fuel pipe
connections to the filter.
Note the direction of the filter.
Loosen the
clamp holding the filter to the support plate and slide out the old
filter.
Install the new filter in the same direction as the old one and
use new copper sealing washers on the banjo connections.

the firsrst thing to check is a FUEL-VAPOR LOCK and evap system esp[ecially the fuel cap and running the A/C can cause relays to get hot and check fuel pump relay and filther and last fuel pressure
SOURCE: Recently on two occasions the car started fine and
id start with fuel, make sure it's gettin fuel. then check your fire, spark plugs dist, ect. 75% of the time that's where you will find the problem with those troubles

thanks for the responce
took it to mechanic is running fine now
hey Ron, have you checked the ignition for spark? made sure your getting fuel? and is your air filter in ok shape? first guesses i have would be either.... ignition coil/module went out... or maybe a clogged fuel filter... both would cause the sputtering.. and can cause no starts..
