SVT
CEG'er
I have the hooting problem, it is so annoying, I can't drive with the a/c on... There is s TSB for this and its as follws:
ISSUE:
Some SVT Contours may exhibit a "hooting" or "moaning" noise when the A/C is on and the engine is operating between 2200-3200 rpms. This may be due to resonance in the air by-pass valve and Idle Air Control (IAC) tube assembly.
ACTION:
Replace the air by-pass valve, hose assembly and gasket. The new valve and hose should reduce the possibility of a resonance noise in the air by-pass system. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
The only problem is that I do not want to spend over $100 to do as ford says and replace air by-pass valve and IAC tube assembly.. I haven't been around contour SVT long enough to know if there are any shortcuts to this fix.. Let me know what you brilliant individuals have for me:laugh:.
Thanks!
