speaking of moosing....I have the 'bagpipe' setup on my 98 CSVT. Does this mean the moosing has already been fixed?
I was looking into doing the copper cap fix but there isn't as much tube to shove the cap into due to the bends immediately outside the entrance to the intake.

I have a 2000 as well,I just put the copper cap back in mine. It was moosing so loud,it turned heads. I noticed a significant loss in mid range power,and it does not pull as hard through the RPM's.I also notice the pronounced drop in RPM's when you let off the gas under acceleration.(which I guess is what it is supposed to do.)I take mine out during warmer weather,but it started hitting the low 40's here in Ohio,and that's when my moose comes out of hibernation. You just have to live with the noise or the lack of power!

Tonybox, if minivans pull away from you, i would check out the IMRC, if thats bad, then you have no power.

2kSVT - try widening the hole in the cap. Sounds like yours is too restricting. The hole size in the FAQ is just a recommendation as every car is different.

I think i'll live with the moosing for now. Besides it only really happens to me in the morning... for the rest of the day its fine... besides everytime mine starts moosing i just rev her up and it shuts that moose down right away!

What DOES moosing sound like? We don't have moose down here in Texas.

Are our Contour IACs the same as other Ford IACs? On my dad's Explorer, the IAC valve has a black plastic cover on the side that can be taken off. When you take it off, you can stick your hand over it, and cause this horribly loud, and very strange sound to come out from it.
It does somehwat sound like a moose call (More like a foghorn though). I'll see if I can find the video when one of the members of Explorer 4X4 did this.
