1 Month Cd

Posted on February 12, 2010.
1 Month Cd'98 Ford Contour loses power when I accelerate. What's up?

As stated, the 1998 Ford Contour. It does not happen every time, and it seems that if I accelerate gently, the problem does not occur, or at least does not happen too often. But occasionally, when I try to accelerate, a reader of my radio / CD off, the windshield wipers going, the two towers and tachometer go anywhere, and once again quite dead. Apart from that, the car works like a champ.
I checked the battery terminals, they are well connected and do not seem to accumulate. The battery was purchased in the last 7 months, so I know he is perfectly healthy. Car has never had a problem starting, so I know it's charging properly. The problem is only related to the acceleration, and only from 0-20 mph. Beyond this speed, it seems to work very well. Thus, while highway driving is still perfectly good, city driving is a problem. Apart from that the car is running well, so I always use it regularly. I can not afford to fix anything serious.

If checks on alt, take a look at the ECM - the engine control module. It is not too expensive and sometimes they are simply bad contacts.

Have you checked the alternator output? Should be about 14 volts are slighlty higher. A new battery hardly compensates for the loss of tension on the alternator, then while you are driving will recharge a bit. I want to make sure you have tested the alternator to not end up replacing the battery and after you break.

I have a specific problem, almost impossible to diagnose, if you can find a technology to diagnose the problem I hear about it, Thank you, jnorris8@satx.rr.com

sounds like a simple wiring problem if the cost is far more accustomed
