When does it hesitate? All the time or just at certain RPM ranges? I know my '88 hesitates a bit at 1900-2100 rpm, then it's fine. It's always done it since new.

Well see what that does for you, and the little hidden things I can prolly dig and get to them tomorrow if you need them. I feel like poo, so I am going to lay down for a bit. I will check back and see how you are coming along, or just PM me.

With so many questions about the vacuum system, I would want to invest in the Ford manual that covers the subject. eBay has lots of them for under $20.

http://desc.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=Festiva+vacuum+manual+1988&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=1&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15&LH_Price=..20%40c&_dmpt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&_dmd=1&_odkw=Festiva+vacuum+manual+1988&_osacat=0&bkBtn=&_rdc=1

All except one is for the same, popular manual, but that one exception looks especially interesting. Seems to contain extremely detailed, large-scale diagrams, the 7th one down in the list. Only problem, the seller is out of town until May 6th.

I'm sure you'll eventually figure it out.
