1995 Contour Electrical & Lighting Systems Stalling

About a week ago I noticed after starting my 1995 Ford Contour that my speedometer didn't work and the car was running with a hiccup-like symptoms especially when I was decreasing speed and actually when the speed was getting lower than 30-20 mph sometimes the engine would shut down. A friend told me, since it happen all at once (speedometer and running rough) that it might be related to the speedometer and speed sensor. I'm not a mechanic but I try to look at the engine and see if there was any obvious problem, and I noticed that a cable close to where the speedometer is whas broken. I just dropped the car to a mechanic that works from home to fix the cable, but Would you think that the problem with the car running rough could be related to the speedometer cable being broken? or could it be something else??

I appreciate any help I can get.

A horrible smell like burning plastic has started every time I drive. My fan has now started working only on high and my temp guage may not be working properly. Are these related, and what is causing this smell? The oil is fine.

1998 Contour Engine Malfunction

There are two oxygen sensors on my 1998 Ford Contour SE with the 2.5L V6 engine. The dealer has replaced one (~2 years ago) the sensor was Bank 1 Sensor 1. My check engine light is on again and I had the codes read, and they indicate oxygen sensor Bank 2 Sensor 1. I don't have any documentation as too which sensor is Bank 1 and which is Bank 2.
I want to make sure I replace the right sensor.

Thanks for any help.

1999 Contour Electrical & Lighting Systems Upgrade

My Chilton 1995-99 FORD Contour/Mystique/Cougar Repair Manual does not match the PCM wiring diagram for a '99. I am replacing a 2.0 L engine/transmission in a 1998 Contour with a 2.0L 1999 Contour engine/transmission. The '98 uses 62 pins, and the '99 uses 66 (several different) pins. The book's diagram matches the '98 just fine and says it is for both the '98 and '99. However, they are clearly different. Any way to get the pin outs to match my '99 Contour 2.0L 66 pin connector?
