2005 Ford Fiesta 1.3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Revs high when i change gear
Is it possible the clutch pedal is interfering with the throttle? Start the engine in neutral and allow it to idle. Press only the clutch pedal down and see if this increase the engine speed. If it does speed up the engine and slows back down when you release the clutch then somehow this operation is where your fault lies. If it doesn't alter the idle speed, then rev your engine and release the throttle to see if it returns to idle immediately. If it is slow to return to idle then your throttle cable could be sticking. This means when you change gear lifting off the throttle has little effect and depressing the clutch to change gear causes the engine to race as the throttle is still partially open.
Googmorring sir/madam
Take your papper work in and tell them you want it fixed and you dont feel you should have to pay for there misdiagnosis the first time. You need to talk to the service manager. If he insists on you pay tell him you want to talk to his boss.keep going up the ladder all the way to the auto manufacturer.
How?
Not to much details there, but I'll try. My guesses are, handle and cable in the seat have separated, the cable has broken, some other pulley / clamp / clip has slipped out of place. If you can't find any of these, have you considered using a piece of wire / cord etc. to pull the release manually (if possible)? If you still have this problem after looking over that stuff, take pics of seat, clamp, handle and upload. I may have a better solution if I could see it. Hope I helped anyway. Grimm
My semi auto fiesta wont start in damp weather
One word - Condensation - check your "computer case" under you hood for any cracks, leaks, moisture etc. It can also be the weather seal, open box and check for moisture, mildew smell. Fuse boxes can be equally damaged. Check the owners manual to see how many fuse boxes you have and check them too. There's usually one under the dash and one under the hood. If none of that works, find the ground wire from the engine to the car body / frame. Single thin black wire attached to with a single screw or bolt, if it's loose, that could be it too. Good Luck.

Bypass sensor
I'm guessing you have already had the onboard computer scanned, and know for a fact that the O2 sensors are your problem. If not, You can go to autozone and they will do a scan for free.
With that being said, bypassing your O2 sensors is probably not a good idea. Your mileage will suffer, and you can potentially damage the catalytic converter which is very expensive to replace. Eventually, your car will become harder and harder to start, begin stalling out, and finally not start at all. A pair of generic sensors from Autozone or the part store of your choice, will resolve your problem for under a $100 in most cases.
You will need to buy or borrow an O2 socket if you don't have one already, to remove the old sensors. It's an easy job to do, and will save you time,money, and multiple headaches in the long run.
