I'm having issues with the Festiva for the past two months, I have replaced most everything (I have an extra engine) so I have been swaping parts.Last time I replaced the whole intake including injectors,tb and all.We went out to test drive it and it was running good, We were on a four lane road and this camero pulls right on the side of us its was like a 99 LS1.I think our gauges got the drivers attention so he reved and the driver on the Festiva (im always a passenger) I dont like racing to much...lol Well back to the topc he hit the blow off valve.they lined up and going on 2nd gear,they were even until the Festiva hit 3rd,it just chirped the tires and it bogged,the camero left and flashed the emergencies....lol, Yeah we got smoked! so we went home laughing about it and left the car sitting until last night.
I was told to replace the knock sensor since it was the only thing not changed.I did and went out for a long drive to get it nice and hot and see if it was going to run good or not.
We were on the same road we raced the camero and there is this Audi S4,I told the driver to give him the blow off valve and he did, The Audi driver responded righ away.So they lined up and hit it, The Festiva left the Audi like he was standing still,so he wanted some more and got the same results.We continued and did it one more time this time the Audi went first and again the Festiva left it right away, The driver in the Festiva said they were filming it so I said give to them one more time then, This time he went way before then the Festi just to get hes rear handet to him again,When the Festiva driver hit the brakes a G35 coupe flew by us....We didnt even see him but those are slow anyways.On the next light the Audi guy said "I have never seen a turbo festiva" and asked what was in there.
The festiva is running good till now so hopefully its fixed now but I'm not sure.I want to hit the track soon!
