Just one thing to note. You mention that the shop is going to change the plugs for you. Make sure the replacement Spark Plugs are Double Platinum plugs!!! You'll find alot of shops try and save a few bucks by replacing the plugs with single platinum tips



Knowledge is power for sure, and without the knowledge I get from this website and the Contour listserve (both such great resources) my car would probably still be sitting unstarted and waiting for a major engine job it doesn't need!

I reminded the shop manager of the double plats. We had a hard time finding non-Ford plugs that looked and acted like Ford plugs, but found that the Autolyte double plats work fine. He asked if I'd rather have those than Ford plugs, and I picked the Fords, given the choice. I think he'll get the right plugs in but it wouldn't hurt to check, you're right!

Thanks!! Lynn
