1st check fuel filter, air filter, fuel pump. You may also want to run some fuel injector cleaner (or carb cleaner if it's an 88 or 89 without FI).

Also check for any vacume lines which may be split or have come off, check the oil cap and oil dipstick are on tight (seriously), and check the PCV valve is in place and not clogged (you can pull the PCV valve out and shake it up and down. It should rattle just a bit. If not, it's clogged).

If it's only recently started idling improperly, it could be bad gas as well.

Ford Festiva 99 model wont start at all it turns over but the dash lights do not come on it has new battery the ignition coil has been replaced what could be the problem?

If the Ford Festiva's engine turns over but the dash lights do not come on, it could indicate an issue with the ignition switch, a blown fuse, or a problem in the wiring harness. Ensure that all connections are secure, particularly the ground connections. Additionally, check the fuse box for any blown fuses related to the dashboard or ignition system. If these components are functioning properly, further diagnosis may be needed to identify potential issues in the electrical system.
