Okay...this is my first time here, but the VCT cam timing is a pain...I think. Here's my problem and if anyone can help I'd appreciate it. My 1999 Ford Contour SE 4-door is acting really goofy. When I am trying to do a "rapid acceleration" like pulling from a driveway onto the highway and accelerate quickly, my car kind of jerks and doesn't want to go. You have to pull over to the side of the road, brake completely to a stop and then can go. Sometimes it will do this jerking thing again and sometimes it is just fine. Major prob...it doesn't do this all the time...it's really sporadic. My hubby and I have talked to 3 diff mechanics who all have different answers..the fuel pump, the VCT cam timing or one swears it is a sensor and can be fixed no time flat.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? We've already replaced the spark plugs, fuel filter, new oil, oil filter, air filter, checked the connections. My hubby's a mechanic and he did all this and just can't figure out what to do next. HELP!!!!
