I do these once in a great while and it seems everytime I fix the problems more come.
- front door now squeaks when opened, havent applied lithium grease in like a year so maybe its time to do it again
-car now dies if left sitting for more than 4 hours, need to hold gas pedal for like 5 seconds before it goes below 1200 otherwise its going, think the IAC valve need to be repalced but $190 damn got to save up
- sometimes the windshield fogs up when the defrost is turned on sometimes it doesnt
-doesnt seem to have a lot of power, I know its a Zetec, but it doesnt seem to "go" if you will like it did when I first got it
- dont know what is going on with PO171, it has been a while since I have seen it, maybe the O rings did fix the problem!!!!! hell yeah
- the "unfixable" rough idle it has been slighty rough since day 1, and I can live with slighty rough, I hate it with the A/C on or defrost, the car shakes pretty bad you can fell it in the seats, and the RPMs go up and down 500-700, Belle Tire said recharge A/C it will fix it, nope didnt fix it afterall
-if your going down the road and go up a hill, the exhaust seems to drone, or get louder, but otherwise it is fine, if you release the gas pedal for a second then reapply the sound is gone
- serpentine belt less than a year old squeals already, what a piece of junk, oh wait it cost $26, should have brought Motorcraft for $41
I understand cars need stuff done once in a while but damn just cant seem to keep up with this Contour, thankfully I send in the final payment next month and then I can focus on the problems, or ones I want to fix, mainly just want to fix the dying problem it has, and the belt squeal, as long as the CEL stays off I'm fine with 24/25mpg.
Anyone else want to do their gripe list?
