Hi everyone! Name is Rocky, and yes, I am a woman. I have been posting on the "troubleshooting" forum for about a week now. I live in Circleville, OH and I am have trouble getting the Contour running right. If there is anyone out there close to me and feels like lending a hand, please let me know! I would appreciate it as well as my kids. Getting kinda cold to walk them to school and then to work. Thanks in advance!

Not in OH, but this forum has some of the most experienced contour guys around. Ask a question!

I read ur post in troubleshooting... You need to do what those guys said and take it to get that code scanned, also have the battery and alternator tested while you are there. (It's all FREE!  ) Once you have that information, post it up here and we can tell you what we think. BTW...if your car died on the highway and then you jumped it and it started...I would guess it's going to be the battery or alternator...

Where in Lima, OH? I work at the Walgreens on Cable and Allentown, and commute from Ada. I'm in a stock looking Silver CSVT, except for the blacked out headlights and xenon projectors. Have you seen me?

welcome.
btw, I had the exact same thing happen to me when I owned a lease ford focus. I was driving down the highway, and all the sudden the car starts bucking really hard, so i push the accelerator to the floor hoping to keep it going. No luck. All the sudden, everything in the car just dies. I roll to a stop, wait about 5 mins, and turn the key and starts right up. Get back up to speed and a mile later the car starts doing it again. This time after stopping it wouldnt start back up. Turns out the alternator took a crap and the battery was juiced out as a result.
