The car has a hesitation at slow speeds but seems to run ok and has good power at higher speeds

I have changed the O2 sensor, both temperature sensors and new plugs.

I have had nothing done to the Mass airflow sensor or throttle position sensors.

Any ideas as to what could be causing the massive fuel usage?

Where is this MAP sensor located? Never heard of it before.

With MAF, the engine is not equipped with MAP sensor.

Is the Malfunction Indicator Light showing and have you checked for trouble codes?

No the engine light ia not on.
I do not have the tools to check codes
of note the distrubutor and ECU were changed since the problem.
The air intake ducting
and filter box also changed because of breaks
