  • The Festiva let me down.

    Well today the Festiva failed to start after work. So I had to get it towed home, it seems to have no spark. I will diagnose this in the next day or two. I know the fusible links are OK so now its time to diagnose the problem. :twisted: It was a bad day overall!!! But atleast its over!!

    That sucks , I hope it is something easy like a coil or igniter .
    maybe the disty ?
    You mean you have not replaced the links with the fuses yet ?

                my festiva let me down a couple of times but ran good the other times. after 5 years besides the regular matanance i have spent money on a water pump job $150.00 and a radaitor $25.00. not bad for 5 years.

                  It turned out to be a bad module in the distributor. Fixed in 5 min! (Thanks Willie!)

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