Evo 5 engine with std 4 ecu will mean you have the bigger injectors (560 red top) than the ecu is set up for from the 4 injectors (510 yellow top). Thats probably the reason your drinking fuel. But 160miles to the tank is prob avg for most people with an evo lol

Change the plugs for some BPR8ES with a 0.55mm gap may solve your missfire. Check the plugs anyway for overfuelling signs. If changing the plugs doesn't help then it may be a coil pack has broken down. Find the missfire cylinder and change the coil pack with another to see if it moves.

No just get a 5 or 6 ecu. There plug and play and you can then get it remapped aswell :D

The 5/6 ecu is already setup to run the bigger (560 red top) injectors. Check the ecu (located in the passenger footwell, behind glove box, bolted to side panel) If its a metal case its std 4 ecu. If its black case then you already have a 5/6 ecu and the missfire is your plugs or coil packs

if your looking at the engine from the front of your car it's to the lefthand side just under the manifold, and behind the power steering pump,
