A little help here guys, I only know about this on BMWs. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Athough it sure doesn't seem as peppy as it did before all this started happening. Fuel mileage is much better now and no more stalling out. http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=trouble&Number=175678&Forum=trouble&Words=lsc86&Match=Username&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=140538&Search=true#Post175678 '95 Contour SE ATX mods: you're joking right? tunes: Alpine, JL Audio, Cadence, HiFonics, &MA Audio
