I just want to start off by saying the car godS want me to learn festiva wiring pretty good for some reason! I'm having wiring trouble with my 91 but it runs. I went to look at gmiller's Bp car last night. He said it sat In The cold and when he tried to start it it crank very slow. So he pushed it in the garage charged the battery and it wouldn't start. I brought a coil, ignition module, and dizzy, all of which were swapped offf of my running festiva and it still wouldn't fire. No spark, And when I pushed on the vaf door with key on I could not hear the fuel pump running. I also noted that with key on and my spare dizzy plugged in, while spinning it my injectors were NOT firing. Weird eh? Then i dug a little deeper and noticed a small wire coming off the hot side of the starter had ALL of the insulation burnt off of it, and led to i believe a 2 wire plug by the DS headlight. So im thinkink that goes to main relay maybe?So I ended up with anOther Bp swapped stiva for 700 delivered, pics will come when it gets delivered tomorrow!!!!

Did the fix with the wire from the starter work? I have a problem with my 90 right now. It turns over but doesn't fire. No fuel pump running. Previous owner used creative wiring with no main relay, but I suspect that if the power is coming from the starter area, it could still be a problem. It seemed to start after I changed the DS headlight. Maybe I bumped something. What do you think?
BTW, still haven't put the transmission in that I got from you last summer. Hope to soon.Comment
