      • I need to replace the coolant sensor today, and while I am at it, I might as well replace the PCV valve, it's only $2.

            Don't take a pic, take it. If you don't want it someone will. If the u-pull price was reasonable.
            If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

            • Installed a Pioneer HD head unit and Memphis speakers. Just for the record not all Festivas have 4 inch speakers in the front and 5 inch in the back. Mine has 4 inch in the back also.

                • Installed the coolant sensor, car runs smooth as silk now. No random loss of power, no sputtering, no CEL, and no more idle issues.

                      • Swapped an LX instrument cluster into my 88 L.
                        Re-routed the speedometer
                        Added a tach wire to the pigtail, ran wire to coil
                        Success! Except the tach needle was stuck at 1k rpms.
                        Took back apart cluster, broke it open, moved needle around, resistance stopped.
                        After taking it out about a dozen times, it's alive and well.
                        Tach!:p

                          • Got my parts from skimsucka, brake-light went on easy. Same can't be said for that damn battery tray, the main bolt that is still there from my old one just won't give, damn thing was swimming in WD40 still wouldn't budge, ended up just rounding off the head.

                            Going to take a drill to it tomorrow,

                            • Swapped my VAF for a spare I had (thanks, Charlie1717 - another of your spare parts used ), and my check engine light completely went off!! It's been reading o2 Sensor for a year now.. replaced o2 Sensor a long time ago, and it stayed on. Messed with VAF, stayed on. Finally thought.. duh, why not try one of my spares. :banghead:

                              Had 4 gallons of gas in it, very very close to empty when filled (gas gauge doesn't work, but took forever to start with low gas), and it's already run 130 miles and still not empty! Beats my 27MPG consistent by loads. Easily feels like 10HP boost, engine sounds better, RPMs lower.

                              ...I don't think I'm just imagining, but we'll see.

                              I'd be so happy to get extra MPGs outta my auto..

                              EDIT: Shall do test run tomorrow, run out, put in 4 gallons, drive to Indianapolis and back (130 miles round-trip, we'll see how far I get).

                              • Did a lot of cleaning on the in side and painted trim.


                                And cleaned the engine bay as good as I could and it looks a lot better than before.
