Reload this Page Won't cold start

Ford Contour Ford 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.

99 Ford Contour its on its last legs and I just have to get through the winter. Feels like -11 right now. #### all that.

Anyways, it won't cold start, did this last year, but winter was pretty mild.

One of my car buddy guy dude things told me to check the Cold Start Valve from the fuel pump. Supposedly he rigged some up to work again, with a switch.

Is the Cold Start Valve the cause of the problem? Is it the fuel pump? Will I die on my way to work tomorrow night?

Thanks!
