I need the engine size and mileage. Also did it set a check engine light? Are you getting fuel/can you hear the fuel pump run?? Let me know.

Some 95's have an ignition module is so replace it and some the spark is controlled by the processor. If that is the case the most likely culpret is the crank sensor. Good luck

Suggested Repair

On the 1995 Contour 2.5 with fuel but no spark and no check engine light, replace the ignition module if the vehicle uses one. If spark is controlled by the processor, test and replace the crankshaft position sensor.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Ford Contour 2.5 said it would not start because the spark plugs received no spark, although it was getting fuel and the check engine light was not believed to be on. The expert said some 1995 models use an ignition module that should be replaced, while others have processor-controlled spark, in which case the crankshaft sensor is the most likely cause. A later comment about a 1992 Ford Taurus with a similar no-spark issue received no location or repair guidance.
