from what I understand, the only Contours that are really worthy of the chip...are the automatics. Not only will it raise take out the speed limiter...but changes the shift points to a more agressive setting.

You may want to look in the FAQ's...i though at one point somebody wrote up instructions on what needed jumpered in the box...you may be able to do it yourself.

IMO the chip is worth it on an ATX Contour.

I find it odd that your car won't start though. When I got my Superchip the first time, the car ran like it was running on one spark plug, but it started. At that point I sent my computer to Superchips so that they could pull the correct code from it. They sent it back to me with the reprogrammed chip the same day they received it from me, and I got it the next morning. I would try a little more with the cleaning and making sure the chip is in the computer tight. But sending the computer and the chip to Superchip is no big deal. If you can find time to be without your car for about two days.

FYI late '99 and '00 SVT's have to have their computer sent to superchip and have an jumper installed as well as the chip. The comuter module is different all together. I'm not sure if its the same for the other models but that would explain why your car won't start.

I'm going to send my computer on monday and probably I'll get it back on wednesday.I spoke with All from superchips and what he told me was later model of contours need to have two jumper in order to communicate with superchip.They said it's normal car was not start.They guarantied that when they do the jumper it would be no problem.What I understand is this cars has Ignation cut off,and only way to start it it's your coded keys.My guess is when you install the superchip you can not access the code.thats probably they are jumping those pads to get it around.Its only my guess but when I try to turn it on with the chip I got nothing like your battery completely drained.thats got to be ignation cut safety future.anyway I'll keep you guys posted when I get the computer back.later.

Don't even think about it.If you have VNM1 code and D type computer box, here is what is going to happen to you.First I have waited 3 days for jumpers.When I install back the computer here what happend.Not a noticible power gain was my first impression and I felt that transmation shifting very erraticly and it was feel like some one getting a rear end collision with you.so what happen when I flor it.at the first gear I have seen the read line which kills the engine but car goes like turtle than a big crash in to second gear car puls up pretty fast but overall 0 to 60 10.5 sec.before chip my best time was 8.87 sec.Most importent thing for me was the top speed limiter.It was 111 mph.You would not believe if I told you what I've got....114 mph.3 miles for 300 bucks.anyway chip is on it's way back to florida but I have lost over 50 bucks for shipping.my car driving same like before now.Probably I will get a svt if I can.All I can say do not go even near to superchip if you don't want to face all these hassle. mad mad mad

Yes, the chip works, but it depends on the code of your computer. Some are positive gains and some negative. Check my sig's for dyno's
