INDICATIONS:
Stall - Intermittent - During idle after deceleration - Vehicles with
2.5L engine.
Hooting or moosing noise from engine compartment on deceleration -
Vehicles with 2.5L engine.

APPLICATION:
95-97 Contour/Mystique

PROBLEM:
A hooting or moosing noise after engine deceleration to idle may occur on
some vehicles, primarily those equipped with manual transmissions.  This
noise is noticeable when the driver decelerates by removing their foot
from the accelerator pedal in the 3000 to 2000 rpm range.  Continued
deceleration to below 1500 rpm may occasionally result in a stall in the
near idle speed range.  This may be caused by a resonance occurring
within the air intake system.

SOLUTION:
Replace the air intake duct, idle air resonator, and idle air hose with a
revised duct and resonator assembly (F6RZ-9B659-CA).

PROCEDURE:
1.  Disconnect crankcase ventilation hoses from air cleaner outlet duct.

2.  Loosen engine air cleaner outlet duct champs.

3.  Loosen clamp retaining idle air hose to manifold.

4.  Remove air cleaner outlet duct from mass air flow sensor, throttle
body, and resonator.  Discard air cleaner outlet duct.  Remove and
discard idle air hose, resonator, and two clamps.  Retain one clamp (if
needed, use a W700572-S300 clamp).

5.  Install revised duct and resonator assemble (F6RZ-9B659-CA).  Use the
retained clamp (step 4) to attach the assembly to the manifold.  Use a
swivel clip (W700109-S300) to secure the quarter-wave tube to the coolant
degas hose.

6.  Tighten the air cleaner outlet duct clamps to 2.7-5.4 N.m (24-48
lb-in).  Reattach the crankcase ventilation hoses to the air intake duct.
