92 festiva sputtering at 60 mph

[red rocket 2]

I have a 92 festiva with 193000 miles on it. At 60 its sputtering. I changed tps sensor. no help got new fuel pump and filter and i rigged a pressure port in the fuel line to put on my gauge. 30 psi

Thanks in advance

look at your ignition system....

What he said. ^^^ Specifically plugs, wires, button, cap. Slick had a problem with that.

How's your coil? Look at your running engine in the dark [ not at 60 ].

Re: 92 festiva sputtering at 60 mph

There is also a way to check the airflow sensor thingy. Had to do it once with my XR4Ti. Haven't looked if there is info for that on this forum, let me know if ya need to do it and can't find a guide.

Are all your injectors squirting O.K.?

[1990new]

Had the same problem once....magically new plug wires cured it.

[red rocket 2]

that was my next thought was wires. i got four new plugs in. and i had another set of injectors i put in also. new cap and rotor hell i bought a distr off ebay and put it in too. but still using same wires hmmmmmm. i ve got a spare coil if need be. but i would think if it were wires it was sputter constantly. but i shall replace them and see.

also any tips on alignment for frontend by hand. shop said steering rack had lil slack and they couldnt align it. it does have lil play but i can get it close i bet.

Hey Rocket, it's time to hit the search button, there is quite a bit if of info on how to align your car with a string.

[red rocket 2]

we have used a tape measure before. but my camber is out also because of front end disassembly to replace trans.

[red rocket 2]

OK festiva peeps i got a new set of wires on. Car still acts like it is sputtering.

[Team Lightning]

Unless you or someone has installed camber bolts in the front end, theres no camber adjustment on these cars. You can only adjust the toe-in.

[FestYboy]

^ ACTUALLY.... there is a factory camber adjustment. it's in the strut top hat. good for about .5*

ok red rocket, sputtering under load or just at 60mph?
