OP jmatzick Member J Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 65 Mexico	After a fast 400 mile road trip, my Contour now stumbles a little when idleing or taking off from a start. If I gas it, it smooths out. Replaced plug wires, fuel and air filter before trip. Could it be the plugs? Any idea what plugs are best? Whats the gap?
