Starts but then stalls instantly ???
Hey guys, I just bought a 96 ford contour @ police auction. When I first tried to start it, all it did was click... so I tried jumping it - didn’t work. Had the battery checked - was good.
So I replaced that damn starter  Now it starts. But then it stalls. It kind of makes a high pitched noise when it turns over and it dies instantly. IF I hold down the gas petal when I start it, it stays on for only as long as I hold the gas petal down. then it dies. When I do this, it like revs up and down while I’m holding the gas petal at a constant rate. The throttle plate moves erratically... PLEASE HELP!

Try fuel treatment, and maybe check the emissions system. Could be a clogged cat or bad gas. Maybe even a blown head. Check the oil and see if it's a good black, or a bad brown/grey....

You are probably looking at either a vaccum leak (very common) or an emissions problem.
