They are fun....when working right.
My CEL light went off yesterday and I paniced. I was thinking something major was wrong b/c it wasn't on! Then I realized my IMRC wasn't stuck anymore after I fixed it when I did the coolant hose off the water pump. LOL

I tihnk my problem was buying a VERY early 98- had more problems than later onces, and mine had a bad ABS module (which is about 1400 bucks for a new/old one) I only lost about 1k on that one, so it could ahve been worse...

LilRoush

Ouch.

NYstang

Yup. 600 dollar 87 crown vic, 2 owners and unknown past? Sure! Run great, only needed a alternator and Battery. 2800 dollar 98 Contour, 1-owner with all records? Here! 2k in work, plus the ABS bit, and make the PO a dick who knowingly ripped you off!

Pfffff abs is for sissy's lol. Went out on my 94 and I just deleted it. I did panic when it went out on my 04 though just cause I want it all functional just cause. Turned out to be a front wheel speed sensor.

NYstang

if the ABS block on the countour malfunctions, you lose rear brakes.

BabyGT

Yeah but couldn't you just replace it with a distribuiton block from something that did not have abs? Did this on my old rx7

NYstang

would have to find one. Cars long gone anyway haha

When's the first cruise or trip to LVD this year Alex?

NYstang

We're trying to set up a cruise for a couple weeks from now. There is one BIG cruise already being worked on in sept for the 50th anniversary- see the NY regional for details on that. as for LVD, its TBD. My car wont be tuned until late-june due to the late removal from storage, and previous commitments.
