1989 Festiva with a carbureted engine and manual tranny. 215,000 miles 100,000 on the rebuilt engine and 50,000 on the new tranny
Alas the Car was running great for 300 miles then... Not sure what happened now I am stranded in williston North Dakota in a blizzard with a car that wont go over 55 MPH in 4th Gear. The symptoms leading up to this are long and drawn out.
1. Car Made similar but much less sever Cut outs in 5th gear.
I changed the configuration of the vacuum hoses
2. Made it 45 miles and the problem got so bad the car would not go faster than 30.
Changed hoses back, NOTE the air cleaner cover was completely Iced over, And the plug that was in the large hole had blown out.
3. Now there is mucus white substance in the PCV valve, and hints of water on the oil dipstick
I took the hose that comes from the one of the large holes in the air cleaner and stuck it in the other for a few seconds then plugged it back into the right hole and plugged the other hole with duct tape.
Also my mpg went from 32 to 14 mpg
Is there a vacuum diagram for the hoses on the air cleaner what do all the ports due?
