Check this out guys:
I'm out driving my contour the other day when I get in some traffic the car gets hot and all the sudden it starts chugging real bad. I started scanning it with my palm and it was running very very lean. I have been racking my brain on this and can't figure it out. it only acts up when the engine gets real hot. it doesn't overheat just when the engine gets real hot. Thanks in advance guys.

98 zetec with an automatic the car has 214000 however the engine and tranny only have like 75000. the code I am getting is P0352 I believe is coil pack circuit malfunction.

P0352 Ignition Coil B Primary circuit fault.

Yep, that could be the reason.

Edit. Some info from Autozone.

And if the spark plug wires have not been changed in the last 60K miles or so, might be time for that too.

I just replaced the coil pack. and how would that cause it to not get gas? spark plug wires and plugs were replaced about 3000 miles ago

ok so I checked the coil pack and it is good along with the wiring. Nobody has had this problem?? I checked my scan and the short term fuel trim dropped to zero the same time my o2's dropped to zero. that leads me to believe that something is shutting down my injectors when it gets hot.

I wish it was that easy but the fuel pressure is staying steady even when it is chugging.
