It could also be a dirty throttle body that is not allowing the butterfly to operate without binding. I would start with the throttle body. 99 CSVT Green/Tan 13,700Km # 84 of 2760 For Sale 96 Contour GL 2.5 ATX 120,000Km K&N Air Filter Mobile 1 E1 SVT Wheels & BFG G-Force Rubber Aluminum Painted Front Grill
