Injectors? Spark Plugs? I have no idea 1999 Contour SVT

As far as the CEL, you should be able to take the car to an autozone, and they will read the codes for free. Whatever is making the car die could be lighting up the CEL. 95 Contour Zetec, ATX (wrecked, sitting in the barn) 95 Mystique Zetec, MTX 2000 Taurus SEL 3.0L Duratec 1994 Crown Victoria LX 4.6 V8 1993 Chevy Silverado 4.3 V6
