1990 festiva running problems

These stories are grand. Explains why most people/sheep run out (and with bank loans), to buy beautiful new (and even more intricate) cars and why we get our's (their old ones) so cheap.
Effort, work, thought? What's that?

what i would do

replace distributer/ fuel pump/fuel filter,plug wires/cap/rotor/plugs. if u r car is EFI, run some seafoam,in gas,if carb,spray a can of carb cleaner,thru it. it sounds like the fuel system. im not telling u,to do anything. im telling u,what i would do. u gotta start somewhere.

3X what Damkid said!
Some people got more money than sense.
If you replace enough parts you'll fix it, eventually.
Diagnose the issue first and eliminate replacing perfectly good parts for no reason, and spending money needlessly.
