      • Today I wired up non-heated O2 sensors into my festiva and then fired it up and it actually idles on its own again (still on the stock ECU)

        If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

Anything sharp, anything at all... Spare fuse? No, I can find something better. After several more minutes shuffling through what little was in the car and shouting things to look for: knife, razor blade, scraper, sharp pencil, scissors, cuticle nippers, finger nail clippers, pick. My wife interjects my listing with, "I've got tweezers and a roach clip."

            Score!

            So I take the alligator clip and use it like a saw to remove the rubber layer. I then took the tweezers and began digging at the nylon braid. I just can't quite get through. After about five minutes digging furiously trying to break my car to drive it home I think I'm close enough to blow it with the pedal. So I get up off the hot pavement and hop into the driver's seat and push as hard as I can... Pop! Now the moment of truth... Success!

            The caliper released. The Mrs. called dad back while I limped home without brakes. That was my afternoon.

            This is exactly why I don't even get out of bed without a knife in my pocket! I don't leave the house without a backup knife to my knife!

            • I removed the door hinge screwed into my poor Festy, fixed the hatch latch, and put in a temporary caulk into the holes to keep rust from developing until I can give the holes a more permanent fix. One step at a time. ^_^

              • Choke Plate

                My carb didn't have a choke plate, so I took one off of a Isuzu Impulse and modified it to fit.

                • Finally drove my turbo festy after sitting for 3 months with low compression on #4. Still low and pushing mass amounts of oil everywhere, but still running strong. I had almost forgotten how fun that car is to drive. Time to get moved into the new house and get the new engine assembled and installed before Indystiv.a
                  Im not driving a Festiva because I'm poor. I drive a Festiva because i want to!

                  • Swapped coils, which fixed nothing. Cleaned cap and rotor, which helped. Found that timing advance vacuum lines were on the dizzy backwards, fixed that.

                    While cleaning the cap and rotor, noticed that the rotor looked new in the middle and on one side, but had heavy carbon on the right edge, looking at it installed. Need to adjust ignition timing.
