Re: 98 Ford Contour SE 2.0 Zetec Won't Start
The vehicle is equipped with a fuel pressure sensor and some scan tools can access the data. The alternative is buy or rent a fuel pressure tester.
Make sure you check all 4 cylinders for spark. The ignition system on this vehicle is a "waste" system, meaning the coil is electrically split in half. Each half fires 2 cylinders simultaneously each time one of the two cylinders is on its compression stroke. The "wasted" spark goes to the other cylinder when its on its exhaust stroke. It is possible for half of the coil to be inoperative.
