Some wiring caught on fire now she won't start. Was possibly an important part. Oh, it was the wire that attaches to the fuel pressure unit thing. Yep important, I am also fortunate that I stopped at the gas station.

Possibly a coincidence, but the check engine light no longer comes on. Anyways, is it possible to get home, about 30 miles, by bypassing the iac valve?91 Festiva L "Erika" b3t swap on the way

Sure. Once the car's warmed up, you don't even need the IAC. I acts like a carby's choke during cold starts. Matt D deleted the IAC entirely on his shop motor (I bought the car from him), and it ran fine once warmed up.Originally posted by Chobobulous View Post90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

U may need to service or cut out the fried wiring to the iac.I assume it blew the fuse toward the passenger side ?Comment

Tom did you have to feather the gas to keep it running.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.Comment

Sweet, thank you. I had an extra pink fuse in the glove box. It started. Going to limp her back home. I have another iac valve somewhere. I'm gonna have to search for the pigtail though.91 Festiva L "Erika" b3t swap on the way

That is correct the passenger side one. I've taped off the loose ends, and will start the drive back. I wonder what caused that.91 Festiva L "Erika" b3t swap on the way

I hope just bad insulation on the fried wiring you replace it and all is good.Comment

The nearest yard to get the pigtail is about an hour away. As long as she gets me there and back we will be golden.Originally posted by jfd64 View Post91 Festiva L "Erika" b3t swap on the way

I removed mine about 10 years ago, sealed the intake. I run good synthetic oil and set the idle a hair high for off road idling along. 10 below is fine but we had some 30 below F for awhile once and I had to babysit the throttle for a bit. Need to anyway to make sure you do not pump the pan dry and blow the motor. Synthetic rocked there though, no problems.Reflex paint by Langeman...Lifted...Tow Rig
