I was almost going to mention that! Darn .. to think I would actually have been helpful on this topic...

If you would like to know more about your engine, go ahead and replace the water pump. (Seriously; I mean do it NOW!) I swear Ford execs were having brain farts when they designed the Contour and decided to put a PLASTIC water pump in. It has a tendency to fall apart, causing your engine to overheat. Buy a new water pump with a metal impeller, and replace it soon. While you're under there I guarantee you'll find out more about where things lie in the engine. wink
