Ok, seem's like I'm getting the Festiva after all, but won't be until this weekend or so. But, I have a problem with my Aspire now.
This morning I was driving to school and had a little more than a 1/4 tank of gas, went to pull out of McDonald's and hit the gas, started to "bog" so I drove to school barely hitting the gas pedal. I thought it was just low on fuel, YES, even at a 1/4 tank, lol. So I filled it up after school with 89 mid-grade and drove it home with no problem's. Hit WOT and no "bogging" occurred. So didn't think anything of it. Then I go to Burger King a little bit after school and I go to leave and won't start. I check to make sure the plug's are on, all cap's are tight, has all fluid's, belt's on, just all the small stuff, and everything was fine. I unplugged the MAF and it kind of started but didn't. So I went to the hatch and pressed that random red button looking thingy, and it started; but idled low. So I made it home, and started to work on figuring out what was wrong.
All cylinder's have 120psi. Chris told me that maybe it was the MAF, so I unplugged it and it did very little to nothing. I unplugged the TPS and it started to idle, plugged it back in and it idled for a little more then died. So, I unplugged the TPS and the sensor under the throttle cable linkage on the left side of the TB and it idled higher, and stayed idling. With the MAF, TPS, and that other sensor unplugged, it seemed to idle really high and stayed idling for about 1-2 minute's before it started to loose RPM's or stall. Greg said it may be the FPR, I unplugged it, made no difference (don't know if it would or not) and took off the vacuum line and there was no vacuum or fuel coming out (again, don't know what I was doing at the FPR) but then he said there might be a leak in the intake tube coming out from the MAF, so I took it off and filled the piping with water, no leak's that I found. so, let it dry and replaced the clamp's securely. All plug's have spark, all connector's are connected properly, all fluid level's are correct, all vacuum line's and hose's are connected, all clamp's are on, the belt's are tight and it doesn't seem to be out of time because I aligned the mark's and the cam lined up and so did the crank, exhaust and intake manifold's are all bolted up and all bolt's are torqued down.
^ Forgot to mention I replaced the TPS with one that I KNOW work's, and it didn't change anything.
Now, I did replace the clutch about a week ago, but if that was the issue, this would all have happened when I put it in.
This is starting to get on my nerve's because this has never happened before and I have no idea what's going on
, lol. I drive a 1994 Ford Aspire with the EFI B3 Engine and the 5 speed manual Transmission.
