So what started out as excitement when I purchased this 3L Contour has become a nightmare. Pulled the car out of storage and would randomly die. I was told because the battery died over the winter that the car had forgotten its tune and need 100 kms to reset. So I did just that. Car ran great for 2 days and then started dying when idling but would fire up most of the time no problem. Other times I had to give the car gas to get going again. Now the car dies after it runs for a few minutes, and when I use just about anything in the car (Headlights on, A/C, Defrost, etc.) it shuts the car off immediately unless i stay on the gas. I was told already by a mechanic that it is not my alternator or battery. Is the tune still out of whack? I have driven a total of 400+ kms to try and get this car back to normal. It is also throwing the code P1120. Is that any possibility it could be messing things up? I need all the help and answers I can get Please and thanks. If you need any more info I will respond ASAP.
