You might want to check the (TPS) , throttle position sensor.

Could you please tell us all you have done to try to resolve the problem? That way we do not have to guess as to what had been replaced or checked. Thanks

I've done so much warranty work on Contours, I wish I could forget it all! These cars (both engines) had many, many problems w/the MAF sensor. Pull codes, and see what the heck is going on. I could imagine anything from TPS to fuel pump/filter problems. Need a little more info.
