Unstable engine
1998 Ford Contour 190007 miles
I have a Ford Contour 98, 4 cylinders, standard, and its problem is that the engine is unstable and stalls. The battery does not charge properly and the Check turns on. A tuning has just been made but I still do not know why it keeps failing.

It is the alternator that is failing. You should take it to be checked or simply buy a new one.

Maybe but not necessarily. Mine the alt. Was replaced...still did the same thing as described by person asking questions. Never figured it out. Had erratic voltage. Wired a volt meter inside cab. Watch volts go from 8 to 24...that was with battery and alternator replaced
