Hello again everyone!
I'm continuing to get "surprises" with my '95 Contour (V6)...Now my
car is cutting off...it's an automatic but I'm driving it like a
straight. It cranks fine; it revs real high then quickly falls and I
have to keep my foot on the gas...I had the fuel filter replaced and
that didn't help. I've used several bottles of gas treatments and
fuel injector cleaners also. There's a lot of knocking and
hesitation. I purchased a throttle position sensor (27.99) because I
was told that might be the problem. I have the Contour book but it's
confusing trying to figure out where the sensor is located. I'm
female, so I don't plan on jacking the car up and getting on the
ground...I have a male friend who offered to replace it if he can get
to it easily. Any thoughts? Also, have any of you had this same
problem (cut offs)...how did you fix it? I know it could be a
zillion things but I'll start with the sensor. I feel that a
diagnostic will be a waste of time and money. (will explain that one
later) And I'm still having an overheating problem; smoke billows
from under the hood on a bad day!
THANKS!
