Parts like ignition modules, ignition coils, crank position sensors, etc. can commonly fail after they get hot. The problem is figuring out which one..

Use a spark tester to find which is doing it. Same thing happened to a 96 New Yorker. I changed the plug wires and was a little better. Never seen a Contour, if you have one coil per two cylinder then one coil or its driver goes out this is what hapens. Get a spark tester, better yet a spark gap tester.
