I had the same thing now for A few months. After a few test I think I found my problem. Test #1, Put in new spark plugs NGK IRIDUMS std gap 54 ran good for 3 weeks after that runing bad agan. Test #2, New spark plug wires, look at the plugs did not look good, gap to 40 ran good but I went ahead put in some new spark plugs MotorCraft AGSF32PPM thay do not make them any more I put in some replacement MotorCraft plug std gap 54, run good for a week after that
runing bad agan. Test #3, So today I completely clean my IMRC and put in some new pulgs, AUTOLITE APP764 gap to 40 so far so good we will see in a couple weeks if she is still runing good I think I have a weak coil.
DAY 1 SO FAR SO GOOD! STILL RUNING STRONG!
Day 2 SO FAR SO GOOD! I put about a 100 miles on my car, never ran better. The funny thing is it never felt like a ignition problem, it felt like a FI problem when my spark plug wires let go that felt like a ignition problem it got worse and worse after installing new wires it run better but the old problem was still there,(plugs std gap) that is when I started playing with a smaller gap of 40 on the plugs after that she runs great! I still wonder why I can not run a std gap?
Plus there is a lot of people on this Contour site that complain of bucking,surging,backfire,hesitation at low RPM and medium to hight loads. With all the great guys on this site
I can not see why we can not fine this one.
(run bad at std gap)
P.S. Sorry for the spelling and the rest it the best I can do.
