91 ford festiva airbox

I have a 1991 ford festiva sport, i was going to remove the airbox and install a cold air intake, but my problem is the sensor on the airbox, is there any way to bypass this? When i disconnect it, it wont give the engine any fuel...

No easy way. Your car really needs this. The only way is to do a stand alone computer that uses a MAP sensor but now your talking hundreds of $'s.

Inorporate the sensor into the CAI. It's pretty easy to do - there are plenty of posts about it here, as well as where to buy or how to make your own adapter plate.

I don't see how you could do this on a vaf.. on the aspire's maf you could if you reprogrammed the ecu.

[jeffdjeffd]

Same way hundreds of others have - you use the whole VAF

yeah like this..



it's black thing between the filter and the intake pipe.. an RX-7 cone filter adapter, a pipe, a couple of nipples for the hoses some couplings and a filter.. you're good to go..

I have a '90 injected Festiva and also wanted to modify my airbox and get more flow. I put in a K&N air filter. They don't list one for the Festivas but if you get K&N part number 33-2037 it will fit in. That part is for a 90-93 Chevy Beretta 3.1L V6. I also modified the airbox itself with inexpensive household plumbing pipe fittings. I cut a hole in the airbox with a hole saw bit on a drill under the level of the air filter on the inside face of the lower box. I then glued into place a few elbows to get the angle right, and a short straight pipe to increase the amount of fresh air flow into the box. It now points forward toward the grill and effectively doubles the amount of air going into the box when combined with the original air intake pipe. Pretty easy. I've got a couple good pictures, just not sure how to insert them into this post!!!
