SO the specialist has been working with the Ford Corp. and a automotive troubleshooting club
for two weeks trying to determine what demon is plaguing my car.
Just talked to him and everything seems to check ok, but he reverted back to Ford's suggestion of electrical problems.
He feels at this point that it is the computer of the car, he is working with a salvage yard
to obtain a computer from another contour to test and see if this will fix the contour.



Can you describe the hesitation you are getting when it shifts ?
The CD4E shifts softly as it is.

If your specialist gets a PCM from a Junkyard, he is going to have to have the PATS codes
erased from it in order for it to work with your car, if your Contour is equipped with the PATS Ignition system.
