Re: 1996 contour need help

Not sure what you're asking here. I'm assuming this is an automatic and you have to give it gas when you hit the brakes?

Re: 1996 contour need help

It could be plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc. Maybe a full tune up would help. Change the plugs, wires, air filter, and fuel filter and if this doesn't work, go to AutoZone and have a diagnostic ran on the car, it is free.

what engine does it have? Once you blurp the throttle, does the engine "catch itself" and run fine again?
