Hey , uhmm. I just have a couple questions that i have been needing to ask for quite some time, these questions have been bugging me forever.
-
MPG-
I have a 1998 4-cyl Zetec Contour (auto), and I was just wondering, how can i get the best gas mileage for driving around in town? Should i click the "O/D OFF" button in so that it turns overdrive off? Or should i leave it on?
Im getting about 17 MPG In town, and that kind of ticks me off cuz these cars are supposed to get 20+ in town...
When you click in the O/D OFF Button, and the O/D OFF light shows up on the console, that means Overdrive is off, right?
*Should I drive with OverDrive on, or off?

Next question,
My heating isnt working very good anymore, If I turn the fan speed past the third dot, it doesnt blow anymore hot air out, it blows out cold air.. and then i have to turn off the fan for a couple of minutes, and then it will blow hot air out but only on low speed....
*Do you know why its doing this?

Seats-
Recently Someone thought it would be cool to singe the back of both of my seats with a lighter... I would like to go to a junkyard or something to get some, I was wondering if any year Mystiques and/or Contour seats, would fit in my '98 Contour... ?

Last question,
I was looking at Jcwhitney and noticed this http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/...stom-1/p-2005683/N-111+1998+200728635/c-10101
^^does anyone have this? Or do you know if this really works? And if it works, how well does it work, and how hard was it to install?
Also, Would this work if i were to get an aftermarket intake-like one of those K&N ones that everyone has on here?
Thank you,
Terry
