What does a egr valve do?

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) directs exhaust gasses into the engine's combustion chamber via the intake manifold. The exhaust gasses are inert (do not support combustion) and displace oxygen that would normally be drawn into the engine during the intake stroke. Think of the engine as a vacuum pump and can only draw in a fixed amount of oxygen to be mixed with the fuel for ignition. The reason that exhaust gasses are drawn into the combustion chamber is to cool the exhaust. With less Oxygen in the fuel mixture the flame burns cooler and cooler exhaust temperatures result in lower NOX (oxides of nitrogen) emissions.

Cooling fan on 1996 contour is inop what controls it?

make sure theres a full cooing system, because the fan switch that's screwed into the radiator won't come on if theres low fluid because of a leak... also, theres a fan relay, and could be a bad fan motor... diagnose the circuit with a manual, you can jump the fan switch to see if the fan comes on(if theres power to the switch with the key on) READ UP .... everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and a professional shop manual should be available at the library in the reference section for FREE...make copies of the right pages and fix your vehicle like a PRO! :) good luck Dave :) The main engine control computer turns the fan on and off using information it gets from the engine coolant temp sensor. The computer uses a relay to turn the fan on when needed.

Would it hurt to reuse the headbolts on a 95 2.0 Ford Contour?

You may be able to reuse them with not adverse effects if you make sure the threads are clean and not deformed. However many engines today use "torque-to-yield" (TTY) head bolts that stretch slightly when installed. This provides more even head loading and allows the bolts to hold torque better for improved head gasket sealing. When the bolts are installed, they're first tightened to a specific torque - then tightened an additional amount that's measured in degrees of rotation. This final twist stretches the bolts to their yield point and creates the elastic clamping force that provides more even loading across the head and gasket. Because TTY head bolts stretch slightly (only a few thousandths of an inch), some auto makers say they should not be reused when the cylinder head is removed. Reusing TTY bolts will cause them to stretch further, which increases the risk of breakage. A stretched bolt also will not hold the same torque load as before, which may cause a loss of clamping force resulting in head gasket leakage. The best insurance may be to replace all TTY bolts when rebuilding and reinstalling a cylinder head with new head bolts. So if your engine uses TTY bolts, replace them. Be sure and torque to the correct setting and in the proper sequence.
