Allright guys here's the deal, I have a 92 Ford Festiva L , FWD, 2 door, 4 set, 5 speed manual, 1.3 Litre stock engine that is having compression problems and is constantly missing a beat when idling (gets worse longer it is left on). When the car is shut off or just started running, you get a faint smell of gasoline. I suspect that it is a burnt exhaust valve, a faulty fuel injector, or the camshaft is worn down.
I am planning to overhaul the car and put a new transmission in it, and crack open the engine block and fix the problem if i can figure out what it is from the compression test. Now if anyone has any idea what these problems might be a little more specific, let me know
I need to know what the valve assembly uses, I.E. Valve rods, Valves etc.
I also need to know if the car is an overhead camshaft or not.
Any other information that may help let me know.
Thanks, PM me or respond.
No one go out of your way to find out anything yet, i'm probably purchasing another 92 festiva with new tranny and other parts for 200$ and a working motor (insurance and sticker still on it as far as i know)
If i buy this car, i will most likely not bother fixing the compression problem in the old festiva, more likely to be stripped down and converted to electric.
Cancel that too, car was sold when i got there so still looking for opinions on whats wrong with my rig.
