How to unlock the Running on Fumes achievement in XCOM 2 - Definitive Guide
I waited until I had a Spark unit at Champion level with the NOVA ability. You could always use grenades but I find I'm usually out by the missions end....
Wait until you have a main plot or non-time sensitive mission - hold off doing it until another mission appears e.g. guerilla ops, retaliation etc then do the time sensitive mission. Once you're down to mopping up the last few critters, trigger NOVA multiple times until you get down below half health.
Then go do the other mission & make sure it survives. Or if not able to do the next mission straightaway for whatever reason, make sure you go to Engineering & remove your damaged Spark from the repair list. They do seem to still 'heal' over time (don't ask me how...) but if you're quick you should still be below half health when you undertake the second mission

I can't get this to unlock. My spark has 12 health, starts with 4. and 4 armor. Is that the problem. I started a new mission with 4 health and evacuated, failing the mission. But the description doesn't say the mission needs to be succesfull

Unlike human soldiers spark units can go on missions while injured/damaged. After a unit is damaged in battle, and the health is under, half bring it on another mission. Keep it in the back and let your other units do the fighting to avoid further damage. As long as it survives and you complete the mission you will get the achievement.
SPARK units must be repaired in Engineering to recover health. Simply bring a SPARK unit into a mission, allow it to take enough damage that its health drops below half but don't repair it. Now begin another mission (preferably an easy one), bring the damaged SPARK unit along and use your other units to complete the mission. As long as the damaged SPARK unit survives the mission, the trophy will pop.

The spark is automatically placed for repair after a mission where it received damage; it must be canceled in the armory. It is also necessary to install default armor and send it on the next mission, otherwise it will auto-heal Spark to half health and the trophy will not be given.
