My bad. I am the one who read it in the shop manual and gave him that info. The manual I use is the big Blue 1996 Ford Contour Mystique Fix it right the First time Shop manual.
It shows 35-45 PSI for running and key on engine off. But you are right, that diagnosis and repair did nothing for the repair. Ford called me on Saturday with the diagnosis of what else..... FUEL PUMP!
Do you believe that! I explained the new Ford piece was installed 2 days prior and that they should try another guess. Ford called me today and said they ran the car with the catalytic converter off and it ran fine.
He also referred me to Midas Muffler because Ford sells that repair for $1200.00. Called Midas, they will do it for 329.00 installed.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Hope this does the trick.
