just for any one who ever reads this and is having the same problem i tell you i tried just about everything that my boyfriend and i could think of. the car sat in the garadge for about 2 months. like it says it would start and then die after just a few seconds. so long story short try the mass air flow sensor. its a really simple fix
I'm working on a 1987 Festiva, and I *believe* that this is located inside the distributor housing.
i know on a wb its in distributor
I know this seems obvious but you didn' mention checking the ignition switch. Possibly the start contacts are ok but the run contacts are open. This will result in the symptoms you mention.
yes
the motors are the same swap out the distributor the intake belt pulleys and altinator
According to my Chilton's book : The spark plug firing order for the 1.3 liter / 81 cubic inch four cylinder engine in a 1990 Ford Festiva is : ( 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 ) The distributor rotor turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE
For a 1988 Ford Festiva , 1.3 liter / 81 cubic inch four cylinder engine : ( 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 ) The distributor rotor turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE ( according to my Chilton's book , about.com , autozone.com , and ford forums )
I own a 1997 Ford Festiva Trio S 3-door wether it is a belt or chain is dependant upon the model but mine is a belt, and this is usually changed every 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers.
www . motorcraft . com ( no spaces - one of Ford's websites ) shows the firing order for the 1988 ( and each year ) Ford Festiva - 1.3 L - 4 cylinder as ( 1 - 4 - 3 - 2 ) but , My large Chilton repair manual for a variety of vehicles , about . com , autozone . com , and another website each has ( 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 ) as the firing order They are in agreement that the distributor rotor turns counterclockwise and that the # 1 cylinder faces the right side of the Festiva .
no, two different suspension system specifications.
Pipiza festiva was created in 1822.
