I have a 1997 contour 2.0L 4 cyl auto trans, can I use any good quality 50/50 antifreeze? I usually replace my coolant every year, I buy ethyl glycol 100% concentration and delute it to 50/50 with destilled water, it is pretty much better for the wallet than getting the ready mix coolants, is...
I have a 2000 ford contour and it has been a very good little car to me. But yesterday I was driving and the whole car started shaking violently and the Check engine light came on. I went down to Auto Zone and plugged min the computer and it said Misfiring on #3. So I replaced all the...
I am thinking about purchasing one of these cars (low mileage from the south). However, my problem is, they idle too low. And I realize they they all do. My question is, can you flash the computer when the car is warm and change the idle in park to, say, 920 RPM? I did this with my 1994...
So, I'm only fifteen. Like most teenage girls I know, I'm not comfortable with my stomach. Being young I figured exercising each morning would do the trick. During the summer I got up every morning for 1 and 1/2 months and did 5 reps of 100 situps. (Plus I run everyday) EVERY MORNING I did these...
I have been searching around the internet & most people say the cigarette lighter fuse is either #46 or #47. My problem is I cannot figure out where the cigarette lighter fuse is located or how to go about changing it.
I have removed every single nut and bolt that I can see or feel. I'm pretty sure I've removed every last one of them from the entire area necessary. I'm still having a problem removing the Starter Cables(the wires that go from battery into the starter) from the starter. They are preventing me...

My check-engine light was coming on intermittently over the course of a few weeks, and the car seems less powerful both accelerating and cruising. Once it got very unresponsive, backfired once or twice, and pretty much limped home. The tank was below 1/4 so I filled it and since then it's been...
My check engine light was one a few days ago. I went to autozone. I exactly dont remember, but most probably the code was P1744 and the guy said it has something to do with transmission. He suggested me to go to a tranny shop. But the light went off automatically after two days. What could be...

Okay, I have a 96 ford contour, and i recently change the idler pulley, and when I installed it, it got overtorqued, and the bolt sheared. So in other words the bolt is in half and the stud is inside the housing of where the idler pulley went. So do I have to buy a whole nother housing. It...
