Check the connection at the VAF meter in the air intake.91GL BP/F3A with boost

Like mentioned above, Check the Air Flow Meter connection. If everything is good there then I would check the Vacuum lines going from the Throttle body to the Purge Solenoid and around any of them attached to the Intake Manifold and check the hoses that run to the Valve cover and check to make sure all of your connections are good between the Air Flow Meter and Throttle Body"The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles.

I'm guessing its all in the stock box right? i know i had an issue when i swapped my festiva because i didn't connect the breather pipe off the intake for idleing.

If none of those things fixes it another possibility is a dead Ignition Control Module. Not easy to diagnose. Can be taken to some parts stores for free test. People often test by putting in good distributor off another car to see if that fixes problem.Original owner of silver grey carburetted 1989 Festiva. 105k km as of June 2006. 140k km as of June 2021.Comment
