the car is running again. well for the time anyway. now i found two contours. but the problem is that they have the 4 instead of the 6 cylinder. i dont think the wiring harness is gonna work.man thats just my luck. the cars are just up the road from my home. but they have the wrong engine in them. ? i found another problem my car is only running off of one o2 sensor because some dork! cut the wire that runs to the o2 sensor on the bottom. now my problem is that if this car needs this other o2 sensor then this could take care of the rought idle/acceleration thing im having. i hope .now the only thing i need is to find the plug to this o2.because they cut the wire from the o2 and the whole plug for that bottom o2 is gone. and i dont even know how to look for something that was cut and removed.anyway the o2 is still in the pipe but the wire was cut from it. can someone look at the bottom o2 sensor on their 1995 2.5 v6 contour to see where that wire comes from. just to give me a general area to look in for this wire that goes to that bottom o2 sensor. will appreciate it.

well did anyone come up with any info on the location of my 2nd o2 sensor wire.like what wire harness it comes off of. and its the o2 sensor on the bottom. some meat head sniped the wire and then removed it from the car. why. i dont have a clue.

well did anyone come up with the location of the bottom o2 sensor wire. like what wire harness it coms off of. the top o2 sensor wire comes off from the harness that over by the camshaft position sensor located on the passanger side of the car by the oil filler cap.

man ? really

well it looks like the problem is solved with my 95 contour. it had really bad wiring in the wiring harness by the fire wall. instead of paying $765.00 for the harness i spliced new wire from one plug to the other and cut out all the bad wiring.so now it has new wiring in it. and now when i go to press on the brakes the brake light fuse doesn't blow anymore. and the car has an even idle now.

has anyone got the post with the fix on the wiring harness.

(... the one that has the info on how i fix my wire harness by splicing the wire's from plug to plug. and cut out all the bad wiring.the result was that it fix the problems the car was having.with the jurking/brake lights not working and the rough idle on my 95 contour 2.5 v6 5 speed.
