What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Aaronbrook37]

Cleaned, and applied Rain-X to all the windows, including the Rain-X Antifog for the interior.

Defrost in these cars are almost useless without A/C, so hopefully this antifog stuff will help.

Good stuff... hopefully that helps a little bit. I wonder what impact a rear spoiler has on this issue... seems like it would keep a bit of rain off, especially when moving forward.

IT RUNS!!!!

How hot do y'all's B6's valve covers get? Mine got hot enough to burn skin instantly after only a few minutes of running...? Coolant temp never went up any

Sounded great, though couldn't hear much of the engine over the exhaust.

Picked up an '86 B6 w/130K out of a really nice 323 for my blown up car. Also scored a steering wheel from an '82 RX7. It was in such great shape, I got it for $10.....lol. I think I can save it though. I also spotted a car some one here might want to save. It's an '88 Mazda 323 sport, turbo, AWD. It's all there and nice and straight and they have the title. All for $650, I gave $300 for the SOHC B6. The problem is bottom end, spun bearing or something. I'm going to post it in (FS), hope someone saves it. I may get crazy and get it myself.

An engineering club I belong to at my school helped put new shelves for the machine shop. They were going to trash the old ones, so one professor and I split them. My friend joking asked me if I was going to put it in my tiny little car.

Then I did.


Now I have three big metal shelves, with no where to put them. I wonder if my girlfriend would beat me if I put them in the apartment...

Oh my god, I'm retarded. That IS the problem. I am sure it will start now, but I have to go to work, don't have enough time to put it back together and try it!!

The line from the fuel filter runs straight to the fuel rail. The line from the regulator runs back to the tank.

[Prafeston]

Well, I got started, but it's supposed to rain today and tomorrow so it's gonna have to wait til Saturday or Sunday for installation!

I'm willing to bet it'll run if I switch it, but it may also wreck my injectors.

[mellowout]

I'm pretty sure they're correct as is... fuel goes through the regulator before it gets to the injectors right?

It's currently fuel filter to top line, to regulator, to injector rail itself, to bottom line to tank. Is that wrong?



Just swapped in the known good regulator from the B3 and no luck. Does that mean I have a bad pump? It worked before....

well, its free to find out if they are backwards or not. Worth a shot to swap em.

^x2. try swapping at top of fuel filter and return going in next to the fuel filter.

[Oren09]

Past the regulator?
Do you have the fuel lines hooked up backwards?

[200KGPGTP]

Turns out fuel isn't getting past the regulator.... Can I use a B3 regulator?
