You stop driving it and repair the problem that is causing it to run hot. A complete cooling system service is in order. Drain the coolant, replace the thermostat, replace the coolant, check the function of the water pump, the thermal switch for the cooling fans and the cooling fans themselves. Clean the exterior of the radiator and flush the radiator.

On a 1995 Ford Contour SE, the fuel line runs along the underside of the vehicle, connecting the fuel tank to the engine. It typically follows the frame rail on the driver's side.

Always ensure to relieve the fuel system pressure before working on the fuel lines for safety.

What does cam sensor do on a 1997 ford contour?
The camshaft position sensor (cam sensor) on a 1997 Ford Contour monitors the position of the camshaft to help the engine control unit (ECU) determine the correct timing for fuel injection and ignition. This sensor plays a critical role in optimizing engine performance, efficiency, and emissions by ensuring that the engine runs smoothly. If the cam sensor fails, it can lead to poor engine performance, misfires, or difficulty starting the vehicle.
When the heater or defroster runs on 99 ford contour it causes respiratory issues but there is no odor.?
There is a possibility that mold has grown in the plenum, or in some of the ducting. I would recommend you take it to a shop that check for this and can clean out the entire system. Home remedies for this problem seldom work.
How do you replace front struts on a 1998 Ford Contour?
I have a Contour as such. I always did all the maintenance on my cars. The Ford Contour is a total engineering failure. Your problems are just getting started. This car is such a tough one to fix. The engine runs too hot, coil springs are always breaking, electronic bugs, and the transmission will slip around 180 000 km. Most cars I work on, I could replace the front struts in a few minutes. It's been ten hours on the Contour. This is not a Ferrari, it's not worth the effort. Just get yourself a nice, used Toyota. In the mean time, you can drive with your suspension as it is, for several months. if it took you ten hours you need to give up on the do it yourself approach I can do all 4 struts in about 2hours LOL
