reliant gas gluper

[K car crazy]

i have an 86 reliant and i get only 4 day to a tank and thats only going to and from work i have changed the tps and the o2 sensor and flushed the cooling system,plugs,wires,cap,rotor,battery,any hoses that are split and still burns way to rich and i have got the code 52 oxygen sensor signal stays above center. but i already changed it two months ago and i just don't know what going on im at a loss can anyone help me??

Not an expert on these things but you stated still running rich. Coolant temp sensor is possibility. Thermostat is another, may be opening too fast or stays open.

i did that then it got cold and i boosted the car to get it going and that never worked so i waited for a warm day now after i start it it runs really rich to the point of have black smoke and right below the tail pipe its all thick black crap and it idles up and down really bad can't drive it anymore drives me nuts i phoned up a shop told them what it does and they told me its the computer.every sensor has been changed nowand still the same problem if the computer is gone bad how come it still runs?? please help me i hate taking the city bus !!!yuck!!!

Is this fuel injected?

[K car crazy]

yes it is but i but it runs ok now changed the computer and know it has the codes 13 and still has 52 13 is map sensor (slow change in map idle signal or no change in MAPfrom start to run)code 52 is(oxygen sensor signal stays above center) but i have no idea what to do now all i can think of is that i shoud take it to a shop and have them look at it

No offense K car, but there is a point where you are beating a dead horse. You got to last to 20 years, that above and beyond the average life for any 2.2 or 2.6. . Might be time for some newer wheels.
