Check for any stored codes. Possible CKP sensor. Your local Checker or Auto zone can help with a code pull.

check the transmission fluid level first and also when was last time you had a tranny service new fluid and filter because the screen could be plugged and not allowing the fluid to get to the torque converter also have the catalytic converter checked out

Listen TFI module is more than likely the problem change it. TFI module controls spark and timing and fuel. Keep one with you in the car. The module is getting hot and not working right.

possible fuel pump. Try spraying starting fluid into breather while someone is cranking engine. if vehicle tries to run it is fuel problem. If not it could be an electrical componet overheating and cooling and restarting. Coils, relays, ecm.

I have 1995 5.8 Bronco. Startturn off. Come back in few minutes won't start, but will wait for 10 minutes or so and then starts fine...until turn off again. Solenoid?

By suggesting solenoid I guess you mean it will not even crank. Heat soak can make solenoid act this way. If it cranks but will not start, I suspect leaky fuel injector(s) flooding engine.

My 95 thunderbird makes a ticking after it is started,it continues for about 5 minutes and stops. Also it happens sometimes when I turn on the air condition. The heater also will not turn on. What co

Heater does not come on for a few minutes on purpose. The system waits until engine coolant is warm so fan not blowing cold air on you. The ticking can be the heater waiting to get turned on (air door closed) if sound seems to be coming from dash. System should work right away if you use A/C though.

My heater blows hot for a couple minutes then turns cold. After turning it off for a few minutes and back on, it blows hot then goes cold again.

LET YOUR CAR WARM UP FIRST!! or you risk the chance of over heating and casuing engine damage. start your car let it warm up for 5 to ten minutes and then try the heat. also when you start you should NEVER have heat on right away. the heat that you feel comes from the engine. and if the engine is cold and you are trying to heat it up it will put stress on the engine and over heat. ALL cars have to wait for their heat. that's why you see peoples car running in the morning with no one in it. so when they do get in it they have heat. heat will not work until the engine is warm.

HOW DO I CHANGE A UPPER RADIATOR HOSE ON THE 1995 CONTOUR

Hi:

Start with the engine cold, and drain the coolant out of the radiator into a clean pan. loosen the clamps on either end of the upper radiator hose. twist the hose loose, then install the new hose along with new clamps. Fill up the radiator, start the engine for a few minutes, then shut down and check the coolant level again, and top off as needed. After the engine is up to temperature, check for leaks again, and recheck the coolant level the next time the car is cold again.

1995 Ford contour SE V6. In the shop replacing engine,

The most common failed start is ignition spark, usually forgot to hook it up, this is controlled by the ignition module and the crank sensor, second most common is fuel. Has your mechanic fixed it yet? if not check the three basics- air-fuel-fire, one them is missing.
