Festy Fans; Here's a "GOOD" one. This has been going on for nearly two weeks now. What would cause a drop in idling, low enough to almost stall AND the exhaust...
Randy; Our little "donut" tires 165/70R12 are avalable on either "tirerack.com" Yokohama $48.00 or "tires-easy.com" Yokohama $49.50, Federal $ 27.80. FAST...
That clears it up. Thanks. So, the danger is in a screw up in the parts interchange listings, not specifically with the Festiva/Aspire tranny swap, right? ......
With the Falkens, mid-40s pressures give a ride that's firm, but not painful. Remember, a specific pressure in one tire may or may not behave like the same...

I believe that is the case. I just wanted to point out that the axles are different and are not interchangable between std brakes and anti-lock. Randy Burgess...
Rob, You didn't specify what you have, carb or injection. If it is injection, coolant temp sensor would be my first guess (this happened to me). Second guess...
Twisties are the issue here. The dealer (wally world) only had 25 psi in them. They cried loudly on the corners. I put 34F 30R in them today and will see how...
I run 35psi in the front and 30psi in the rear. I find the lower pressure in the rear helps with the bounce we get with the not so great roads. It also does...
the abs aspire is slightly different to accomadate (sic) the abs sensor and the toothed wheel on the cv joint but will fit the festy and work the same as non...
OOOPS! It's a '92 with FI, 5 spd, 202000K mi. HOW would I check the coolant sensor? Temp gauge has been in the norm all this time. Rob ... If it is injection,...
You can check the codes to see if the coolant temp sender is bad. I would just change it if it is original. The gauge sending unit and the fan turn on sender...

Maybe this isn't the most elegant way to do it, but after I have everything in place ready to tighten, i've stuck a looong ratchet extension between the block...
Thanks for the response, that sounds like it's worth trying. By only pushing the alternator back with my hands, it is fairly tight, but still chirps a bit at...
Short of using a belt tension gauge, the method of pushing down on the longest span of the belt is the best method. I use my thunb and try to press down with...
