I have a problem with carburator in Ford Festiva 1988

[Coolx]

Sorry for my bad English - i from Russia. I have Ford Festiva 1988. I have a problem in my carburator. Has cleaned it in acetone, but has mixed all black tubes. The scheme of the carburettor can eat at somebody or somebody will give a photo or the scheme of their correct connection. The machine twitches and turn off on single turns.

1988 carb/emission control hose connections

I too have messed-up emission control hoses, due to a number of dimwit mechanics I have let mess with my car, and now can't pass the emission control test here in Alaska (like we have big-time smog problems here!). My parts car has some of the hoses removed (and never ran) so I can't rely on it. The Haines repair manual is no help. The decal under the hood is incomprehensible to me. Does anybody have some good photographs or even hand-drawn sketches from a known-correct carb'd (1988-89, I would think they're identical) Festiva. I think mine's an 88. I need to get this fixed soon before winter sets in here since I don't have a shop!

I just bought a 88, 1.3L festiva, a got it in a really good price but I´m having extreme problems, my carb is not the original one and all the solenoids that go in the firewall are missing, it shuts down every time and is HELL to get it started. Came some help me find info on the original carb, the vacuum diagram, and if it is not much to ask a workshop manual I can download...
PLEASE HELP!!!!

88/89 plumbing documentation

I recently purchased about 118 pages of service manual (incl lots of clear diagrams) info for my 88s. It's sections 24 (Fuel System) and 29 (Emission Control System). I'm skimmed it and it seems like the Mother Lode for 88/89 Festiva owners. I'd be willing to make copies and USMail them at my cost (figure $25/copy) to interested people who PM me.

Interesting that this topic came up again so recently.

I'm having the same problem.

Know of anywhere that I can get the schematics of where the vacuum lines go?

Thanks a lot.

If you seach in yahoo for pics of festivas there are some diagrams over there, but check them all because they are almost at the end.
