Are the Plug wires connected correctly? - did you replace them one at a time? Ground wire on the coil pack (on the V6 - may apply to the 4 also)reconnected? Coil pack input connector secure? Did you disconnect anything else to gain access to parts you replaced?

It's located in the kick panel buy your left foot. You can take a flat head screw driver and pop it up. I don't know if that's your problem, but it never hurts to try. 99 SE ATX SVT exhaust Ractive Intake

Go get yourself a spare spark plug, pull one of the plug wires, plug in the spare plug into that wire, and then set the plug so it's touching something grounded, like your intake manifold or the boltheas that stick out above the plugwire routing loom. If you get spark, then it's likely fuel or you didn't put your plug wires back on the correct coil posts. I love my Contour to death, but my 'vette is still my #1 baby. There's money to be made in racing. I should know. I put a lot of it there. You can make a small fortune in racing. Start with a large one. How fast do you want to go...how much money do you have? You can fix a lot of things, but you can't fix stupid!
