The amount of "beep" drive me crazy. Sometime a "pause" mean a pause, sometime mean a zero, etc... I've put online a MP3 that i've record with my MP3 Player. Can you tell me what is that code? I know that the error is repeating twice... but cannot find the code. Go and download at http://pages.infinit.net/jfbourbo/contour_1995_check_engine_code.mp3 thanks alot!

Need to check/clean the connection or replace the sensor. Not sure if you have a V6 Duratec or I4 Zetec. Location of V6 ECT sensor. http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=trouble&Number=1066103&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1 Last edited by Tony2005; 10/04/05 04:07 PM.

But the light "check engine" appear in my dash when i'm giving more "gas" pedal, like in a high acceleration, but turn off 1 minute later... Append 1 time of 4 approx, and the light stay 1 minute maximum . after, turn off. I've no impression that my car is bad, no problem at all when i'm driving...

For the Zetec, the ECT sensor is the one on top of the thermostat housing, in between the oil filler cap and the resonator. There is another one sensor below which is the coolant temperature gauge sender. The gauge sender sends the signal to the temperature gauge in the instrument panel. Intermittent code. PCM detected fault turned it on, then detected the fault gone, and turned it off. Don't worry about it unless it comes on again and stays on. It however, does mean that it could be on its way out. So be prepared to change the ECT soon (When? I have no idea). Last edited by Tony2005; 10/04/05 08:43 PM. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles
