I have a 1988 Ford Festiva L with 117 thousand on her. she will start up, and only stay running if my foot is giving some gas, but once i let off, she dies, but if the car is warm and has been driving, it'll still run at idle, anyone have this problem? any idea's what it could be? help?

Re: She starts, runs, but wont idle
1988 = carburetor. Sounds like the automatic choke isn't working. Pull off the air filter housing and try spraying some carb cleaner around the carb, Maybe something just got too dirty to work right.Originally posted by peguinsexplode90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
