Technican: They shouldn't bend the valves. Check for reference voltage to sensor(s). There is also an extended warranty recall on the wiring harness, especially for those in hot humid climates. "To: All Ford and Lincoln-Mercury Dealers Subject: Owner Notification Program 99M03 - Certain 1995-1997 Contour and Mystique vehicles - Under Hood Wire Harness - Additional Coverage. OASIS: Yes OWNER LIST: Yes PARTS RETURN: No PROGRAM TERMS: This program provides extended coverage on certain under hood wire harnesses through 10 years or 100, 000 miles which ever occurs first, from the original warranty start date. AFFECTED VEHICLES Certain 1995 - 1997 Contour and Mystique vehicles built from Job #1 1995 through Model Year End 1997. REASON FOR RECL Under ambient factors of high temperature and high humidity, certain 1995 - 1997 Contour and Mystique vehicles may be susceptible to the wiring insulation becoming brittle and cracking on certain engine compartment wiring harnesses. These harnesses deliver electrical power to the engine and its cooling and control systems, the climate control, and other power distribution systems. If wire harness insulation cracking is found during the additional warranty period, the under hood wire harnesses are to be replaced at no charge to the customer. SERVICE ACTION Additional Warranty Coverage Effective immediately, Ford is providing additional coverage for the replacement of the under hood wire harnesses on these vehicles for a period of 10 years or 100, 000 miles, which ever occurs first, from the original warranty start date. This coverage exceeds the provisions of the original component warranty coverage on the affected vehicles and is automatically transferred to subsequent owners at no charge. This additional coverage does not include normal service diagnostic or repair charges unrelated to wire harness brittleness and cracking. After this additional coverage has expired, wire harness replacements will be at the expense of the vehicle owner. QUESTIONS? Claims Information 1-800-423-8851 Other Recall Questions 1-800-325-5621"
