My 1998 Contour Zetec has the "bucking" problem. I talked with a friend at work who has a 2000 Contour Zetec. He had the same problem with his car. Ford replaced the Fuel Pump under warranty. That solved his problem. Just a thought...

The Zetec is very, very sensitive to plugs, like others have said here. You must use the low resistance, fine wire Motorcraft plugs, I know from experience that the Autolite double platinums will cause bucking/missing. They aren't cheap from the Ford dealers, maybe someone else will have them but this is what you need. Have you recently had a tune-up or changed plugs ? Try the Motorcrafts, you'll be happy.
