^ no she ain't missing, I know what a miss is, my mx-3 needs new spark plug wires and it misses, occasionally..
my contour doesn't miss it's just hesitating, extremely bad. like I come to a stop and it idles fine at about 700 rpm, its just shaking alot, and at some stops... then the rpms will drop to 300 then back up to 700 then 300 and 700.. repetedly (sp?) give it some gas and it smooths out, wait a minuit and it does it again, its quite odd..
I was told it was because my flex pipe is shot... and the sensor (02) sensor and the ones by the flex pipe causes it to run like [censored], thought it was just bs.
I want to fix it, to get it running smooth again so I can sell my mx-3... but with the way it runs I can't do that!

This is for an Explorer, though its the same valve used on almost all Fords. I don't know where the valve is on the Zetec though.

Car won't run if it bad.....if it does, it surges. The IAC valve is located UNDER the intake manifold next to the starter.
