1999 ford contour with DOHC 2.0L motor. Need to find timing marks on crank and cams
It is only advised to do the timing belt with these special tools. For best results, I strongly suggest paying an experienced professional to do this procedure.
Turn crankshaft clockwise. #1 & #4 cylinders are at (general) TDC when the woodruff key is straight up.
I have to say, this is not a job for someone who is not fully prepared. The system will only vary the timing 2 deg and this IS an INTERFERENCE ENGINE. Meaning, there will be catastrophic engine failure if the marks are misaligned, if the belt breaks or if the removal and installation service procedures are not strictly adhered to.
So, here is enough information to get you in real trouble ( in my opinion).
I’m happy to assist further over the phone at

SE model. Is there a fuse or a relay for overdrive?
No, if you have no overdrive, it's likely to be the solenoid, or an internal problem with the transmission such as burnt out clutch disks for 4th gear, or the servo. In those cases, a rebuild is in your future.

I have a 1999 Ford Contour...last night I my gas light came on and on my way to the gas station my car cut off on me...I put gas in the car but it still won't start. It cranks and everything and no ot
you may have a blown fuse check them first and the relay for the fuel pump just swap it with a new one if those are good spray starting fluid into the throttle body if the car runs the fuel pump went bad if you ran out of gas each time that happened it did damage to the fuel pump because the gas cools off the fuel pump while it operates so on an old car that's 16 years old if it happened a few times in it's life span it did damage each time this also could be just from age related failure but when you get a new pump always keep enough gas in the tank so it will keep the pump cooled off the pump is an electrical motor and they generate heat from operation the gas keeps it cold when the pump gets to hot it has to shut down for safety reasons to avoid an explosion and it fry's itself the other thing that could be wrong is you had a lot of dirt in the tank & the filter is clogged up check all the simple things first before you spend$$$$$$ for a fuel pump

Replace power brake booster
unbolt the master cylinder from the booster and remove from it carefully so you don`t damage the brake lines. undo the vacume hose from booster. disconnect the brake pedal from the booster rod. unbolt the 4 mounting bolts for the booster. these maybe located under the dash where they come through the firewall, if not on the outside of the firewall. remove the booster.
