Ford Contour CNG Has No Drive Only Q. Hi, My vehicle is a 1998 Ford Contour CNG, 2.0 liter, automatic transmission (CD4E After 02/98), 128,000 miles. The problem that I am having is that when the car is in DRIVE I get no movement, but when the car is in either first, second or reverse it moves fine. What do you think would be the most probable cause. Thanks for any help at all.

A. The most likely thing is internal transmission damage. There are really no electrical causes for the symptom you describe.

The best thing to do at this point is to let Ford access the Transmission Control unit to see if any codes are stored. Then they should do a transmission pressure test.
