Emergency help needed

Make sure your slow fuel cut solenoid is getting power. It's wires go to the rectangular plug that the carb is attached to. It is on the driver side of the carb.

Here you have a suggestion from someone who appears to know more about your carbureted Festiva than I do. I would suggest you give this kind of advice special attention.

absolutely will do thanks for all your help i will keep you posted. I am getting the spacer to manifold gasket soon and will be replacing it aswell considering after replacing the carb to spacer it still idles up when you spray down there so im leaning towards a fuel to air mixture problem. Maybe a cracked intake or hopefully that gasket or hopefully not a bad carb.

from your last reply it sounds as though you might have a huge vac leak in the intake or one of it gaskets, which in turn could very well cause your idle problem!!

Hi, I can't help you like Dean could, but if the tests the guys have suggested don't seem to help figure out your problem, I know two men here in Raleigh who might be able to help. One has a Festiva and the other did. They are both mechanics, and neither one is on the site. Let me know and I can give you contact info.
