I get alot of vibrations from the steering wheel, while in gear at a stop light.
It gets really bad, when the defrost or A/C is running.
I just put on a new fan belt about a month ago.
Could it be a pully or a tensioner?
It runs fine when i give it gas and head on my way after the light turns green.

There is a TSB for this, something about radiator mounts.
Mine does it to, however cleaning the TB and intake helped cure it.

To be honest it can be many things...
1. Engine or Motor Mounts
2. Serpentine belt
3. Belt Tensioner
4. Serpentine pully
Common for the Contour 4 cyl. The Radiator was designed to "float" in its
mounts. Some of the vehicles got out of the factory with radiators that were
too tight in its mounts. The normal engine vibrations were transferred
through the cooling system to the radiator core support. Ford provided new
radiator mounts and bushings in a TSB fix. Before the parts came out, I
would bend the lower mounts down to looses up the fit of the radiator.
