Intake duct

[stefan]

My intake duct is all ripped up. If i cant find a festiva in the junk yard is there anything else i could pull one of these off of?

DUCT TAPE =) lol ive had to do that on one of dads cars. worked great

You could post a wanted add in the for sale section, I am sure some one has one.

your not gonna find any other cars that are a direct fit for the duct... you might be able to make something work, but the festy intake duct is a piece of art... directs the incoming air over the exhaust manifold to heat it before it goes into the motor :lol: not the brightest engineering idea ever, but with a motor this small it probably doesn't make too much difference. Warlocke is right, duct tape is your best bet. If you really want a new one and can't find one at the yard I have one I'll sell ya for $10 plus shipping, but you don't really need it I don't think

I might be tearing apart a festiva real soon since no one wanted it for the 150 bucks I was advertising it for. Hell if you came down right now I would give you the car :-) It is in much better shape than yours by the look sof your floor boards, only problem is it doesn't start (No spark).

It is very important to get this fixed ASAP. The rip is after the AFM. That tells the computer how much air is coming into the engine and that is used in figuring the amount of fuel to inject. With that tear you will be sucking air thru the hole and that air won't be metered. The car won't run right.

the above is right my did not run right that is why i keep an extra one at home.

i have it taped up temporarily right now. come to think of it this may have been part of why it wouldn't run.

Im heading to the yards tomorrow so maybe i'll have some luck

Probably a big part of the problem.
