When I am on the highway and i turn the AC on it turns on, chuggs a little then works great, blows cold air. As soon as I stopped, or if i don't shift fast enough the rev's drop and stalls.

Do you have the throttle hang fix installed ??

Yes, been installed for the past year and a half with no problems. Was working just fine until last thursday.
Mine was sorta acting like that - I opened up the hole in the TH fix just a little bit & it fixed the issue . Don't know why it started doing it after all those years , but that fixed it .
I noticed that also. the rpms would drop so fast I thought it was going to stall, but then the IAC caught it at the last second and it holds the idle.
The TH fix makes the R's drop quick (had 'em in all our 'Tours) , but when the glitch was happening , it was like you turned off the key when you pushed the clutch to downshift (like at an offramp) . Just came outta nowhere . I opened up the hole & it went away

yeah, doesn't do that, I would say it about as optimized as you can get it.
I'm not so sure I'll be up for wings after the show. :blackeye:
I'm running a little low on the cash fund and won't get paid from my job until next weekend. Plus I went out with a buddy from high school Tuesday and all you can eat ribs + beer + desert = poorer college student. But it was worth it cause I hadn't seen him since Christmas!
And I still need about 80 dollars worth of gas for the next week. :nonono:

Hey there! Not sure if we're going. Looks like some nasty storms are on the way.
Did you try making the hole bigger?
Well morning weather looked bad, BUT I went anyway. Luca went for breakfast with ken. :laugh:
I was there along with:
-A sweet black 99' F150 with custom interior, lowering suspension, 20's, the works.
-95 F150 converted from work truck to show truck. New paint, lift, beautiful bed, and a nice DVD/Audio setup in the cab.
-86' Cutlass with a Olds 350 block swapped in. Was a work in progress, but car was underway towards being one hell of runner!
The bad news is that my camera may be dead. New batteries, they the zapped out hte juice, I'm pretty sure its done for, and it was my fault for being mad at it and given it a toss onto a chair, a bounce from the chair to a wall, and a fall from wall to floor. :blackeye:
So no pictures...but Checkers and I8Rice showed up. We were hanging around and there were to kids hanging around the car for a little while. Short time later we saw two Contours pull out from the parking lot. :shrug:
The day cleared up and it was some fun. We really need more people to show up next year!!!

Sorry Scott. I did call you back though. 
We were tired. Plus it was still raining when we got back from breakfast, roads were wet in my area.
We ended up going to pick up a set of stock wheels for the Contour. They are primarily for my 'tour for those times that I don't want the TSW's on.
Wonder if one of those to guys was contourfever87? His friend has a Contour also. Those were the two guys we met at the Pennsburg Harry's.
Time for your friend to join the CEG contourfever87.
