Hello all my first post im having the same problem with mine, I just bought it and am very new to these cars. It hasnt run in four years but I replaced the fuel pump and it will idle with the inside heater fan on but to start I have to pump the pedal a bunch of times. and it runs very rough at idle but smooth at running speeds.93 Ford Festiva L new project-dd big plans

I wish I could get it to idle. If I could then I could get a better timing read. Right now I have my friend holding the throttle right at 1000 rpm just so I can adjust the disty and the ignition timing. I am almost certain that festyboy has hit the nail on the head. After sitting here thinking about it, the car has sat since 2005 and has roughly 197,000 miles on it. If its sat that long with old gas and such them most likely the fuel pump has gotten old and cant pump low pressure to keep the car running at idle. It almost seems like its running out of fuel at idle and when revving it, its getting to much?
Gotta wait to check it tomorrow but ideas do help the mind .Last edited by 91_festy_Gl; 04-15-2011, 04:51 PM.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

turning the dizzy counterclockwise (tward the front of the car) is RETARDING the timing. clockwise advances the timing.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

Did you figure out this issue. was it the fuel pump? I am having the same issue. However, I have the webber carb set up now. Also my exhaust sounds like a helio flying overhead. So I am assuming that I have a exhaust leak, but I dont know how bad that would effect the car running. As for the fuel pump, I replaced that about two years ago. Although it did sit for 8 months while I was in afghanistan. So could it be a combination of both the fuel pump and or the exhaust? Man I wish I could find my haynes manual.Man should eat when he can for Man does not know when his last meal will be.

I got to go out tomorrow and check the fuel pressure to rule that out. If thats not the problem then its on to more investigating.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

Well today I managed to hack the cat out of the exhaust. Hopefully tomorrow I will have all put back together. Then I myself will go from there. Right now I might even replace the fuel pump. I already replaced a lot of parts on this car and spent twice what I paid for the car. No turning back now.Man should eat when he can for Man does not know when his last meal will be.

Well the good news is there is definatley no clog in my exhuast, but there is however, an exhaust leak. It just seems like I cant win with this car. I spend more money on parts for the thing than I do on gas for my truck. I am begining to think it aint worth it anymore.Man should eat when he can for Man does not know when his last meal will be.

Its worth it.You might be at a loss now but once you get it straightened out you will start saving alot of money.
I moved my lx today but havent really had time to mess with it more. In the middle of spring cleaning right now. think im going to go ahead and buy another fuel pump for it that way I know its brand new.Last edited by 91_festy_Gl; 04-17-2011, 11:59 AM.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422
