replacing the engine control module should solve your problem it sounds like you are having a common problem. when the engine control module overheats it shuts down when its cool its fine.start with that and then move to the coil pack and pick up coil
you don't, you buy a chevy.
I had the same issue and replaced the ignition control module and it started up fine. I also replaced the O2 sensor.
Need to check and see if it has jumped timeing. make sure plugs arent fouled out.
You have bad spark plugs and or cap and rotor
Check the Vehicle Emissions Control Information ( VECI ) decal located in the front of the engine compartment ( it will show the type of spark plugs to use and the spark plug gap )
No. The differential heating will probably lock the plugs in place until the engine cools down.
A Ford Taurus and Contour are a couple. (1997 Taurus with the 3.0 liter engine & 2000 Contour with the 2.8 liter engine)
On a 1995 Ford Contour : According to one of Ford's websites : The spark plugs on the 2.0 liter four cylinder are gapped at ( .050 inch ) For the 2.5 liter V6 ( .054 inch spark plug gap )
There are a couple of reasons why a 1999 Ford Contour may misfire. The spark plugs may need changed or the coil pack may be bad.
1.13 mm or .050 That's the gap my plugs are running at on my '95 Zetec (Motorcraft plugs)
Check the Vehicle Emissions Control Information ( VECI ) decal , located in the front of your engine compartment ( it will show the type of spark plugs to use and the spark plug gap )
