My check engine light on my 96 contour came on about a week ago. the car drives great. i would have never known there was a problem. i checked the engine codes and it seems to maybe be the fuel pump. does this sound familiar? 96 Contour LX w/ quick little 2.5 AIM---DaveHotBod1 E-Mail---DaveHotBod1@yahoo.com

Put some fuel injector cleaner in it and now it is fine. Pain in the ass when it comes on as you have to disconect the battery to clear the codes or have the code reader, which I don't. My car also runs fine, 156,000 kms and never been tuned up.
