    I already have a cable for it, but i doubt it's going to do much good...if either of you saw my "broken down" thread...this car has some issue with driving when it's cold, if you don't let it get up to operating temps it starts bucking and floods itself out. I can't get away with short warm ups...it has to at least get the temp needle to move a little before it'll drive without being pissy.

    So, the choke doesn't work, so i set it by hand under the hood and let it get up to operating temps before driving, and that extra gas usage really shows.






    Come spring/tax time i'm gonna be looking for a nicer EFI Festiva.
Working...
