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

We have a problem with the car.. the check engine light is on ALL the time, we checked the code and it said O2 sensor..we replaced the sensor unplugged the battery and the light went off.. well with in an hour it came on again, we checked the code again and it was the IMRC. We replaced that and now it is still on. Has anyone had this problem before?? Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

lol.. sorry, I havent looked in this section in a few days. we have had family in all weekend. I really want to trade in the contour for a suv, but Im not sure if we can yet. We did replace both of the O2 sensors and still no luck. Joe is too busy with his car Hopefully we will get it fixed soon.

Chech all the wires for continuity. I had a broke wire the day I had mine installed and the light come on and of course it called out the O2 sensor.

didn't put any funky additives in the tank did ya?
exhaust leak,even real mild in front of the o2's will set it off.

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.
