Okay, here I go again. I swear this car is going to drive me to "drinkin" Its my wifes 95 contour, 150,000 km. New O2 sensor, new MAF sensor, tps 1 yr old, tried new computer, new plugs and wires. There for awhile it would go into self test when ever you started it. This seemed to go away after the dealer suggested that I replace the maf sensor and a person who read my last post basically said the same thing. Now it seems whenever it rains it is doing the same thing and today the cel would come on whenever I was maintaing speed. I have been hearing what seems like a vacuum leak coming from under the battery tray. The dealers mech said that it was fluid passing through something in the transmission but it sure sounds like a vacuum leak to me. Trouble is I can't find or see anything.Guys, I am at the end of my rope here so any and all help/suggestions would be so appreciated.


For $250, buy a real time scanner and scan it. Then you can post the codes and what made the codes show up. Make sure no water is getting in the O2 sensor connectors. If yours is an ATX, make sure no water is getting on the MLPS (just below the positive side of the battery)
