Ford Festiva The Ford Festiva was introduced for 1988. Three trim levels were offered: L, L Plus, and LX. The Festiva's 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine switched from carburetion to fuel injection in 1989-90. For '90, a 5-speed manual transmission was standard and a 3-speed automatic optional. Festivas got a fresh grille and taillamps for 1990, and motorized front shoulder belts replaced manual belts.

Question Cooling problem on 89 festiva carb modle

I have a 89 Festiva that has a cooling problem. I checked everything and could not trace the problem. Then one day my friend asked when the fan was suppose to kick on and I told him it was temp driven. He said well isn't it hot now, and it was. I thought that the fan motor may be bad so I checked it. Then I stated checking the sensors. to see if one of them had gone bad and sure enough the on that screws into the block had gone bad. The way I determined this is that when I unplugged it the fan runs constantly. However, since the car is 18 years old I would like to replace all three. The one on the bottom of the radiator, the one on the thermostat housing and the one in the block. The problem is I can find any of the. Could you please help me? The car is an 89 4 speed carb modle. I've owned it for 3 years and it runs like a champ.
