Default Re: Festiva Starts - Splutters and dies when warm

water bottle contents cooler than engine bay parts ..could be any thing in the engine bay the water hit

repair manuals for these can be found on ebay

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1991-97-F...UAAOSwcdBWRT9e


check for fuel then check for spark ..... will be one of those two causing the breakdown

some possible fixes

spark loss

crank angle sensor -- pour water over the unit when hot ..see if it starts up

a coil failure

check the leads and plugs


fuel loss
if you have no fuel at the injectors
fuel pump relay
fuel pump
fuel filter

if no better have to do more checks

idle control valve/ clean the throttle body/ a maf clean
