Why does my Ford Festiva stop running and start back later on?

Answer 1

hey i just fixed a WA Ford Festiva and i had the same problem it would start then down the road it would stop, well i checked the coil for spark it was an old one so i replaced it anyway but it could be one of 2 things either your control module is gone or your not getting any fuel to the carby if you have a carby, mine does, my problem was that i wasnt getting any fuel to my engine so i brought a new fuel pump but also got a second hand ignition module from the wreckers installed them both and it hasn't missed a beat, so i suggest that you check your spark first and if that's ok then check your fuel pump and if that's ok then it most likely is your ignition control module or points if you don't have electronic ignition. Hope this helps it helped me i also changed my leads cause they were old anyway.
