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.

Default festiva wasn't getting fuel

heres the problem i run into... there is an egi wire up at the front left side of the fender with 2 other wires i can't remember i couldn't get my fuel pump to work an i didn't check that wire to see it was cracked so i did what anyone does to get something to work i ran a toggle switch back to the fuel pump an when i hit the toggle it kicked on.. well this was great till i went to crank the car had no spark so i got another wire like that out of a junkyard put it in had spark had fuel the car ran but about 10 seconds into running i had smoke comming from inside the dash an under the seat i pulled the seat to see the ecm is ok an it was it was the ground wires that were burning up an im guessing the same in the dash i didn't tear the dash apart yet but i have about 1.5v at the ground now that i ran a jumper wire so i hooked it up the old way with no toggle switch an yet again it dont start but im thinking that little egi wire was my problem off the start why i was not getting any fuel but with it hooked up like oem im still getting power at my ground under neath the driver seats... i just dont know where to go next im guessing i need a wiring harness any other help would be appreciated on what to do
