If not and you or your dad or someone else are so mechanically inclined there is a write up on here how to fix the problem yourself. Hope that helps.



Are you of the opinion that this is a problem in all Contours ? Is this something I also should be looking into ? Why does the problem go away with fresh plugs ? Why do you think the problem started within a couple weeks of swapping out the original plugs ? May it have been conicidence in my case ? BTW I do not expect a miracle, but you seem pretty knowledgeable so I'm asking your opinion only, thanks, Ken, 99 SE Zetec Atx.
