Open tube? That doesn't sound good. Not too many difference between the 2 that I've noticed. Vac lines are basically the same. Still a red hard line to the fpr, green to EGR valve. The rest goes to the black vac thingy (LOL!) and the 2 ports coming out of the fire wall. if it makes it to SZ we'll figure it out.

i meant to mention the tube is metal, has a gold color to it.
looks like a rubber hose is supposed to connect to it.
but my car doesnt have it, and i couldnt find anything like it on my car in that area.
hrrmm, i should have tried plugging it to see if anything changed.
Haroonomiala, try plugging the tube and see how the car runs.

I don't remember anyone ever actually needing an EGR valve.
Clean the freaking intakes!
He just did recently.
Make sure the IMRC works! Both sides!
Are your cats good?
Probably not, as he just had headers installed. Read much??
Fuel problems can cause misses too. Injectors clean? Fuel pressure good?
How do the cylinders look inside?
This question is for Mid Life Crisis. Prior to Rogerm60's post, where did the words intakes or headers appear? 
Well Tony, if you've been following Gonnz's postings, like most have us have...that would all be called Old News.
UIM/LIM rebuild:
http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=trouble&Number=1187349&page=54&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=93&fpart=1
Headers here:

Now before you go and get all "well that wasn't all listed in the post", people shouldn't be giving off the cuff advice w/out knowing the history of what has been attempted or repaired. Goonz has been on here for several months trying to get this misfire addressed. Search "Boggle" and "Misfire".
So now we are supposed to go through all the 8558 posts of Goonz everytime he posts in troubleshooting?
And yes, "well that wasn't all listed in the post".
And if you read the first post (by Lance) on this forum, the onus is on the poster to tell as much information as possble if he/she wants help.
Read this.

Well Tony, then I guess you've proved...something?
Enjoy...reward yourself with a cookie and a glass of milk.

Isn't that the EGR pipe?!!! Supposed to have 2 ports that have vacuum hoses that run into the 2 ports at the bottom of the DPFE sensor! You can see in the pic the DPFE sensor "metal block" with brown, yellow, white wires connected to the plug. Did they forget to put them back on when your headers were installed?!!!!!!!!!!!! Elky all Contours have them. LOL! No wonder your car runs like ass Goonz!
See pic!

Correct routing of the ground wires. Wire 1   Wire 2  Hoses to DPFE sensor. You are missing both.
