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.

Default 99 Contour 4-cycl Loss of Power

My 99 Contour 4-cylinder accelerates with little power. It starts up and idles fine but when I rev the engine in neutral it seems not to be hitting on all cylinders. I plan to change the plugs & wires but any other suggestions to the likely cause will be appreciated.

How old is the timing belt? May want to look into changing that if it has over 110k on it.
