[QUOTE="crewchiefpro, post: 12630818, member: 99543"] The ONLY one you should be concerned about is the P0320. This is probably a Wiring Issue where the insulation has come off the crank sensor or cam sensor wiring OR off the wiring near the ECU. Look for broken or missing wire insulation. The 98 models are known for this and will do weird stuff when it happens. Some have replaced the wiring harness with a 99 model and had no more issues. It is a simple fix once you find the wire that is missing insulation. There isn't a problem with oil starvation, quite the opposite. You can spin these to 7000 rpm all day long. There is only one issue and that is when the connecting rods fatigue and it will cause the bearing to spin, which will break the rod. Most of us just install a 3.0 Duratech from a Taurus or Sable if the motors break. They are simple to do and perform much better. If you want specifics then go to [url=http://www.contour.org]The Contour Enthusiasts Group[/url] or [url]www.fordcontour.org[/url] both are great sites on the Contour SVT vehicles. [/QUOTE]
