Ok. you guys should know the problem I am Having with my Festiva. It is stalling very bad now.
Now it even stalls when in neutral (4speed carb) [Might be a clue]
Now I realize it could be anything from as simple to a loose ground to devestating like the transmision.
Yesterday I looked under the hood and well, Its very dirty and most of the wiring/ connectors are covered in grease ( will add pics) so thats where I am starting.
Heres my plan.
1. Check/ clean all wiring in engine bay ( would just a basic rag/ paper towel do it?)
2. Check for vacuum leak *thnx 25horseplay (wear do i spray the carb cleaner exactly)
Worst case scenario!
1 Its either the trans or clutch. If it is, will have to find another car.
**** I dont feel like it could be the trans/ clutch because the car only has 83,xxxx miles and i did do a trans fluid change a few months back.
Any advice on my plan, please lmk.
Will be working on it today.
