I assume that you have a 1996+ model...

You will need to get the CEL code read in order to determine the problem. You can get it read at the $tealer, AutoZone, or a friend with an OBD-II reader.

Once you have the code, post it, along with any other symptoms, on the board and you will probably get a few responses. Also, be sure to include the year, make and model of your car (and any other info that might be pertinent).


1996 Contour SE Sedan 4D (Royal Blue)
Duratec V6 2.5L 24-valve DOHC
Automatic
75,000 miles
No Mods (unless you call the DMD a mod)
Replaced EGR valve (gunked up), EVR (EGR VR), PCV valve, and evaporative emissions hose (cracked).
