97 Ford Contour ignition

Asked by remmons82 Jan 30, 2018 at 09:53 AM about the 1997 Ford Contour 4 Dr GL Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I need to replace the ignition on this car, the wires
that go to the back of the ignition cylinder tube
were cut.  I'm having trouble finding a diagram
online.  If anyone knows what wires go to what,
that would be extremely helpful.

I figured this out the hard way since nobody wanted to help. The thick red and thin red wires twisted together with the thick green wire, and then touch the thick grey wire to that bundle and the car will start!

    I got a 97 ford contour that wont idle and cuts off when you turn the air on and acts like it dont have power. If you barely hold the gas it runs ok.
