  • Stalling when coming to a stop

    I have a 91 festiva that is an automatic. It has always idled funny when sytopping at lights. Today it started stalling out and shutting off when I would stop at a light. I have checked plugs like i saw on a few other forums it did nothing. Now the car wont even stay running in park without stalling and shutting off. Seems like a common problem as i was searching the internet but not answers on what it is or could be. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Check the intake tube for leakage. You can bump up the idle with the large screw under the rubber plug on the throttle body to make it drivable.

      Second on checking for leakage. Check the molded rubber hose that runs from the vaf, air cleaner area and attaches to a bracket over the grill area. There is an accordion area near the end. That is where mine developed a bunch of cracks.
