Yeah I already found a couple of wires that the insulation was cracked on...a little silicone and its sealed again since they where only cracked and no major corrosion on the wires yet.

also you may want to check out contour.org, some very knowledgeable people there. After a decade of ownership of a cdw27 platform car (contour/cougar/mystic), I can definitely offer the advice that its an easy car to throw parts at, knowledge is your best resource.

Thats where I first learned that they where all non-intereference engines and thats why I started to call the dealerships. Yes I agree there is some real good info on that site.
