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.

Question Zetec Timing Belt Issue

Hey Everyone .... WHO LIKES A CHALLENGE?

1998 Contour - 2.0L DOHC

Replaced ALL pulleys & timing belt
Replaced PCV valve
Replaced Power Pak

Car starts fine ... idles fine .... put in drive and as it accelerates up to city driving speed it begins hesitating/sputtering

Hooked up Snap-On Scanner to computer .... NO CODES!

Mechanic called other mechanics in area, ford dealership garage ... NO ONE has ever had this problem .... nice

Anxiously awaiting a answer to my dilemma

Thanks to ALL input

Exclamation Problem with Zetec Resolved

After reading other threads about similar issues, and passing them onto my mechanic I had asked him to add SEAFOAM and then put in NEW plugs



PROBLEM SOLVED

My mechanic had said that the plugs looked clean when he initially pulled them
[ i too looked at them ... but ... I just looked at gap]

Problem was with one spark plug ... it was cracked ... which had given me the hesitation and sputtering & no codes

THANKS to ALL who had made an input ... something for the memory bank
