Ford FestivaThe 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.
Hello
I just bought a 90 festiva. It started up and ran fine. when I stopped at the first gas station and shut it off, it wouldn't start up again. I waited at least a half an hour and it finally started but didn't want to rev up for a few seconds then it finally caught. I didn't shut it off till I got home, and when I tried it would not start again. I put in some fuel injector cleaner and drove it about 100 miles home. I will wait till morning to try and start it again. Any Ideas? It ran great once it was going with the exception for the first few minutes the tach would go down and up just a little bit. Thank You for any help.
