Ford Contour

The rear brake lines connect to the master brake cylinder at designated ports, typically located on the side or rear of the cylinder. In a typical brake system, there's often a specific port for the rear brakes, which allows hydraulic fluid to flow from the master cylinder to the rear brake components. The exact configuration can vary depending on the vehicle's make and model. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise details and diagrams.

If your Ford Contour is running rough, it could be due to several issues, such as a faulty spark plug, a clogged fuel injector, or a vacuum leak. Checking the spark plugs and ignition coils for wear or damage is a good first step. Additionally, inspect the fuel system for blockages and ensure the air intake system is functioning properly. If the problem persists, consider running a diagnostic test to identify any error codes that could point to the underlying issue.

If the battery light on your 1998 Ford Contour only comes on when you press the gas pedal, it may indicate a problem with the alternator or charging system. Pressing the gas pedal increases engine RPM, which should boost the alternator's output; if the light comes on during this time, it could suggest the alternator isn't generating enough power to charge the battery. Additionally, a loose or worn serpentine belt could be slipping under increased load, affecting the alternator's performance. It's advisable to have the charging system tested to diagnose and address the issue properly.

For a Ford Contour, a typical drain and refill of the automatic transmission usually requires about 4 to 6 quarts of fluid, depending on the specific model and year. It's always best to check the owner's manual for the exact specifications and recommended fluid type. Additionally, when performing a drain and refill, it's advisable to use the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid to ensure optimal performance.

On the 1998 Ford Contour with a 2.5L V6 engine, the camshaft position sensor is located on the front of the engine, near the timing cover. It is typically positioned at the top of the engine, near the driver's side, and is secured with a couple of bolts. To access it, you may need to remove some components for better visibility and reach.

To replace the batteries in your Contour Ab Belt, you will need to locate the battery compartment, typically located on the back of the belt. Open the compartment by either sliding it open or using a screwdriver to remove the cover. Remove the old batteries and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are inserted in the correct orientation as indicated by the markings inside the compartment. Close the compartment securely, and your Contour Ab Belt should now be ready for use with the new batteries.

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is primarily composed of methane (CH4), with a composition of around 85-98%. It also contains small amounts of other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane, as well as trace amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. The exact composition can vary depending on the source and production methods used.

If it's a V6 Contour, then you should be able to haul the tank as far as the gas in your gas tank will carry you, about 275-350 mile. The problem is that in most states, it is illegal to transport compressed fuel tanks inside an automobile, now, not many people follow this law, but it had to be said.

As to the obvious question of how long can a Ford Contour run on a tank of propane, using the propane as the fuel, this depends on many variables. Such as;

Engine style (I4 vs V6)

Transmission (Auto vs Manual)

Terrain

Tank size (how many cubic feet.)

How long if at will the engine last running a fuel it was not meant to burn.

Without this info, and 3-6 months of engineering, you can't hope to get real numbers.

A contour outline is a drawing or design that represents the outer edge or shape of an object. It is typically a line drawing that highlights the contours and curves of the subject without including any detail or shading.

Using information from research to solve problems that humans face every day.

You dont need to replace the motor just fix it. Remove the door panel by taking out a couple of screws around the inside door handle, the bottom rear of the door and pull the panel up and out. Unplug the window, door lock and courtesy light plugs. You will find three bolts that hold the motor in place. Remove them and the motor will fall out. Now unplug the motor and it is ready to fix. There are a few people on eBay selling the bushings that go bad, buy one of these kits. Each motor gear assembly has three bushings, they are sacrificial and will rot over time, it they where not there damage to the motor gears could occur they protect against it. The bushings can be tricking to get in, but if you get all three of them diagonally in and push hard they will slide in. When putting the motor back in make sure the outer gear goes onto the crescent shaped large gear in the door, if not you will just be putting the motor outside the gear. Put the connectors and door panel back on and you have spend one hour and $9 (That's what I paid for the bushings on eBay)

The accessory wire may have become disconnected. 99% the accessory is the red wire next to the yellow wire.

There could be various reasons. The starter could be going out. The Alternator, the fuel pump. If it is a manuel car it could also be fuses behind the clutch

probably yes it started by 1990 in most vehicles for theft reasons

For a 1996 Contour, the answer is NO. A standard hardware store or locksmith key will work fine.

The fact of the matter is - according to the letter of the law you can be ticketed on the first day they expire. UNOFFICIALLY - most law enforcement and courts MIGHT allow you up to 2-3 weeks past expiration, and might let you off with a warning, but anything past that timeframe is pretty unlikely. Expired plates are EXPIRED!!!

Not necessarily, but continued driving may lead you there if it isn't fixed. It may be in the transmission control system that is causing the ill behavior. Pukenstein@aol.com

The fuel pump shut off switch ( inertia switch ) opens the circuit to the

electric fuel pump so that no power is going to the fuel pump when the

vehicle has received a substantial jolt ( collision or maybe hitting a bad

pot hole )

It is a safety device that has to be manually reset if the switch " trips "

I was looking at fordparts.com and for the 1995 Ford Contour 2.0 liter four

cylinder it shows ( Motorcraft RT-1150 , a 190 * F thermostat )

Contour rugs are those u-shaped bath mats that fit around your toilet.

I have a '95 Contour. Firstly, there isn't a drain plug for the radiator. Sorry. But you can drain your radiator and coolant reservoir. When looking at your coolant reservoir or expansion tank, there will be two hoses that come out. One top and one bottom. Follow the bottom hose down to a conjunction of 3-4 hoses. There will be a hose that exits the bottom of the conjunction and runs under the car going towards the back of the car. It will be a fairly large hose with a hose crimp on it. undo the crimp and slide it back and CAREFULLY pull the hose off the tube. It will probably blast straight into the frame so be prepared. After letting all the fluids drain, You can reconnect the hose and run a radiator cleaner or a radiator flush through your radiator using your expansion tank. I would advise while you have everything drained, disconnect the two hoses from the reservoir and unbolt it from under the hood, and then clean it out. When I did it, it looked like a mix of mud and sludge coming out. Sorry for the long answer, but hopefully it's thorough and helps someone out.

I would not recommend using any single-weight motor oil in any modern car engine. They are designed with much closer tolerances than older engines, and they need the ability of multigrade oils to flow easily when cold to provide proper lubrication quickly when started. Single grade oils are too sluggish, especially in cold weather, to provide this protection. Use the grade oil Ford recommends for the car.

Note that, if your engine is already using oil excessively and you have to add oil several times between changes, it's pretty much a matter of economics at that point. The engine already needs overhaul: the additional wear caused by cold-starting with single weight oil won't change that. However, if your engine doesn't burn oil, using a cheaper oil is a false economy.

I strongly recommend the use of a good synthetic oil!
