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 1996 Contour Fuel mixture too lean

the check engine light is on once again, the code read fuel mixture too lean. This happened one year ago, and the mass air flow sensor, coil pack, plugs and wires have all been replaced. Has anyone had similar problems? We are wondering about replacing the O2 sensor and/or the air intake tempurature sensor (the problem seems to re-occur during colder tempuratures) . The plugs are fouled out so they will have be replaced again, before we replace these two sensors we just wanted to see if there were any other ideas?
