Alright, since the Explorer exploded, Kim and I have been sharing the CSVT and I have been really putting the miles on it :(
Well tonight, for $600, I bought a 98 Contour LX.

Z-Tech
White w/ Grey interior
Manual Locks
Manual Windows
No Cruise Control
5-Speed
3-Gauge dash (no Tach)
Wheel covers
123K Miles
BUT...
It does have a spolier !!! (dealer installed, not factory, because the 3rd brake light also in the back window).

I mean this car is about as BASE as a Contour can get, but it drives well (need to get the A/C fixed) and will get me to work and back.

I hope it doesn't get jealous of the SVT.

Congrats man. I see a trip to the junk yard for you in the near future for some upgrade mods lol. Did you get a chance to install the center console?
 
No... no work on the center console yet.

Right now I need to find out what part of the A/C isn't working on the 98 ZTech and also find out what the CEL code is.

Have AZ read the code & MAKE THEM write down the code so you can research it. The ding dongs at my AZ will read the code, disconnect and say "O-2". Then I say, "F.U. Tell me the code". They re-connect and most of the time it's not an O2 related code.

I got sick of them and got my Dr. Pepper or whatever reader for my laptop, so if you want to go that route, we could possibly get together for a troubleshooting session. I'll bring my Zetec & we can swap parts to test our theories. :laugh:
 
Well I am thinking about hitting a junkyard down this way on Saturday. Maybe we could find one (or two) near West Palm or somebody else 1/2 way in between and meet there.
