The poster who said that he hooked up a switch and read the codes while sitting in the pilot seat sounds like maybe he was reading the flashes of the CEL. I wonder how he hooked that system up? More comfortable than standing outside in the snow..... 1995 Contour GL "GEX" 2.0 Liter 4-banger ATX 162,500 miles Stock except for two '89 Tempo wheel covers & two VERY COOL cosmic looking '76 Toyota Corona wheel cover Full size spare No rust Green Purchase price: $500

Go sit in driver's seat and watch the CEL. Turn key to RUN and start counting.
