Ford ContourFord Contour combines sporty driving dynamics with the comfort and practicality of a four-door sedan. It doesn't have the rear-seat space of a Taurus, but Ford improved rear legroom and revised the styling. Contour SVT pours on the coal with a higher output version of the Duratec V6, a sports suspension and bigger brakes.
I've noticed with my '96 GL when it gets cold outside it takes forever to get up to speed. It seems like it's not responding to the throttle and it's pulling 10,000 pounds. Two winters in a row I ripped the serpentine belt and or the timing chain trying to get up to speed.
Now when I get up in higher RPMs it jerks hard and throttle in not responsive, this is not the TRS I have that problem too.
So I've figured out that the latter problem is the plug that goes above the sparkplug keeps popping out when I hit high RPMs. My grandfather just replaced them and all of the wiring in the engine. He was an electrician for 35+ years I know he wired it right.
