I don't think so. The Contour engines are particularly sensitive to what plug & wire you use. Go with some Motorcraft direct replacements for the best results. Autolites work well in the Duratec, but many Zetecs have been especially finicky and won't run properly with Autolites. So get Motorcraft, PERIOD!

Check the archives & you'll find that Champions and Bosch are flat out JUNK in our cars. Never let one touch your Contour.

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
