I've got a little problem with my 96 Contour SE V6 5 spd. I went to go start it this morning and it started, run rough for about 5 seconds then stalled. I tried to restart but it just kept cranking. I left it alone for about 10 hours but it still wouldn't start.
I thought it was either fuel or ignition so I changed the sparkplugs, that didn't work. When I pulled the plugs, they were covered in fuel. I eventually tried cranking it with the pedal to the floor and after cranking for 15 seconds it started.
I reved it a bit for a couple minutes and then it almost stalled again. (Gave it some more gas.) After a few more minutes and a test drive, everything seems to be fine. It starts normally now, i don't have to touch the pedal. I guess i'll find out tomorrow.
Wierdest thing is, the CEL did not light up. Very strange since Contours light up for everything. Oh, it was about 60 degress outside.
Any ideas what the problem could be? I'm kinda lost. I'm thinking injectors or IAC. What would cause it to start by depessing the throttle?
