MY CONTOUR HAS BEEN GETTING FROM BAD TO WORSE. LATELY MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT DOESNT WANT TO GO FAST, ONCE IT HAS GOTTEN FASTER IT RUNS OK HOWEVER WHEN I SLOW DOWN IT SHAKES. I LIKE THIS CAR VERY MUCH BUT IT NEED WORK.

Inspect and test all the following listed below:

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.
