I drove it, I cleaned the interior out, I put both wiper arms back on and got a new wiper blade for it, I also went through all my old citgo gas cards and filled it up (I have like a dollar left on one still). Tommorow I'm going to drive a good distance for the first time (45miles to school and 45 back) Instead of the typical 15 mile drive from the shop to the house.

Puzzled at the rear defrost that has ceased functioning, checked the fuse, the ground looks fine, haven't done anything to it, and nothing has changed, just packed up and quit. Was working great before, I figured if the switch was bad I would've noticed intermittent failing? any ideas, EVTM says check a list of components, I will, but any ideas on where to start?Owner of:
1991 Red Festiva L, 5 speed (Swagger Wagon)
In progress:
BP+G25MR swap, Kia rio axles hopefully.

fixed the rocker shafts after putting the wrong ones in saturday. Sunday swapped HG, head, intake, tb, etc in 3.5 hours, also swapped the same 'wrong' shafts sunday, too. not bad considering I had to disassemble 2 engines instead of just mine. doh' moments much?
runs like an absolute charm now.

on? You may want to get a test light and see if power and ground actually
exist at the rear window and if power is on both sides of the fuse.Reflex paint by Langeman...Lifted...Tow Rig

Tuesday night I asked Jay if it would hurt anything to wire the choke open other than being hard to start when cold. He said no so I did! Now I'm back well into the 30s on MPG (from low 20s, choke is all messed up) and hopefully a little more tuning this week and I'll be doing good again Jay is the MAN!No festiva for me ATM...
