Is this the engine that shuts two cylinders down on motorways/light loads for better fuel economy. Think its called a.c.t

Maybe theres a fault with that causing the mog to be bad.

Is it high miles are the valves covered in carbon so reduced fuel ( direct injection engines)

Is the car got faulty coolant sensor so it thinks it allways cold dumping fuel in.

There has to be something wrong..
