  • Dies on Idle

    I have a 1991 Ford Festiva (see here for engine pix, the pictures are under the gallery on the right of the screen), and I am having issues with it. I just started doing this, where when it idles, it dies. If I keep the RPM's above about 1500, it does fine; 1000-1499, it seems to struggle, and if you let it idle all the way down, it dies. It just started today, and its really random. Any ideas as to what it may be? I know I'm seeing some stuff about it maybe being fuel injectors and rotor caps, but step by step, what would some people reccommend I do?
