SUV for the kids.

I do have an oil leak ( but very small) Not sure about an exaust leak.

I will check into that. I dont believe he checked the wires either, so I will get him to do that as well. i wish I knew what exactly I was looking for and I would do it myself, but I dont want to screw it up worse. lol.

Thanks guys.

It seems to run fine. Sometimes at red lights it will stall out... It has lost SOME power, but I got alot of it back when we replaced the O2s the first time. There are alot of things that need to be replaced (brakes, clutch, ect) so I may just get rid of it and get a new car.

They dont make anymore saleen suvs. Our friend, Brian, owns a Saleen explorer.

He even got the saleen guy to sign his airbag thingy.

I just want a regular black suv that can be pimpin ----

lol

RE: If you know about 98 contour SVT's... come inside

Well, im a SVT tech. So here goes. I cant really do a whole lot without the car in front of me like im sure alot of people will tell you.
But i would take a wild guess at maybe a MAF problem. Also a reprogram of the PCM. The coutours had a problem with the PCM and needing a reprogram badly. BUT you cant do that so.... lol. You need a WDS, or NGS to reprogram it. I will take another step and check out the PTS website and gather up some more info. Could have problems with IAC, the tube that goes to it sometimes cracks and lets too much air in. But i will repost again, dont worry.
