Shop OEM Ford Contour Parts at FordPartsDeal

A variation of the first-generation Mondeo named the Ford Contour delivers North American consumers a vehicle with carefully designed characteristics to fulfill their requirements. Created from CDW27 platform technology the Ford Contour maintains compact engineering which determines its status as a mid-size sedan yet remains one of the smallest models in this category. The Ford Contour offered two engine options: the Zetec 2.0L I4 engine producing 125 hp, and the Duratec 2.5L V6 engine generating 170 hp. Both options provide the standard manual five-speed transmission and optional automatic four-speed transmission for the driver. The Ford Contour integrated well-tuned shock absorbers onto its suspension system and applied four-wheel disc brakes with wider tires to achieve superior handling ability. The select models of Ford Contour offered optional anti-lock braking with traction control which improved both safety measures and driving performance. A 1998 redesign included an SVT version which received a modified 2.5L V6 engine delivering 195 hp and superior suspension and wider wheels. The integration of authentic MicronAir filtration systems along with other Ford Contour original parts meets Ford's strict quality requirements through reliable performance and durability. A selection of OEM parts exists for Ford Contour owners to choose from so they can rely on a warranty-backed preservation of reliability while receiving cost-effective products approved by the manufacturer.

Ford Contour issues involved in this group include idle control, engine, and transmission hydraulics. The Contour may lose power to the fuel pump in the fuel system and stall. Sudden shutdown, no prime sound, long cranking after heat soak are the symptoms. Check power and ground on inertia switch and relay then check pump current. Replace the defective wiring, the relay or the fuel pump accordingly. The drivetrain Contour made use of the CD4E automatic where the transmission valve body wears. These drivers can experience flare shifts, slipping or rough engagement in traffic. Fluid service, filter inspection and either a repair to function restore valve body or replenishment. Engine controls, the Contour will surge or even stall because of a defective idle control valve. Watch for unsteady RPM, unintentional revving, or stalling when at a stop. Clean thumb throttle and check vacuum leaks and replace idle control valve when sticky. Check pressures and pin voltages as well as learned idle trims using the Ford service data. Have the correctly installed fuses and relay positions using Ford wiring. A road test should be performed to make sure that there are consistent shifts and a stable idle in the Contour.
