Thanks.

I just read the codes again today and now i have a longer list:

bank 1 lean
bank 2 lean
cylinder 1 misfire
IMRC stuck closed
A/C clutch fault (i am to far north to miss the ac yet)

i need to start with plugs and wires which are due for a change, and then the IMRC again

i have an amazon green 2000 svt contour w/ almost 108,700 on the dash. i bought it in july 2003 w/ 77500 on it.

here's my list o' probs & replacements since i've had it:
1. fuel pump (went out when i was test driving it!!)
2. 3rd gear synchro went two days after i bought it, had
the WHOLE tranny redone, and the darn thing went out
again after 18k!!! (GRRR that's another $2k to fix )
3. new imrc (at about 85k, not sure)
4. front right wheel bearing
5. new spark plugs & wires at 87k (need to get double
plats, it doesn't run its best)
6. sunroof sticks open sometimes
7. starts when it wants to! i think my flywheel is bad
8. bad exhaust smell on acceleration or at high speeds,
(not sure if i have an exhaust leak or if i have bad
cat. converters)
9. new set of tires at 100k
10. RPM'S stick sometimes, i think i need to do the
infamous "throttle hang" fix!! (recent prob.)
11. driver's side outer tie rod (108K)
12. driver and passenger side stabilizer links (the pass.
side was so bad that my brother broke it IN HALF WITH
HIS HAND!!!!!) just replaced those on saturday @
108,500k)

so, other than that........THE CAR RUNS GREAT!!!!!!!! i really do love it

I bought my 98.5 CSVT with 105K miles on it and am now up to 128K. It is 99% stock, runs strong and has been very reliable. I have put new tires on, aligned the front end, sanded & polished the headlamps, installed a K&N drop-in filter, replaced the IAC, replaced an 02 sensor, replaced the cabin air filter, and that's about it. Overall, I have been very pleased.

140k, third engine. This one has 80k on it. The first one went at 110k b/c of lack of maintainence and hard (not abusive) driving.
