Gilroy, I hate to suggest this but you do need to get a different car. The Contour is not doing well for you and you will get P.O.ed more and more everyday. There are many good deals out there nowadays.
On a side note, change the IAC valve and you should be fine with 700 rpm stalling issue.  .

I'm glad the aircraft has redundant controls. It better for the price you pay for one. Comparing a car to a plane is completely ridiculous. I don't even feel like explaining how absurd it is to wish for redundant controls in a machine that has such a low price to begin with.
And actually, there are redundnat controls. Go look at your master cylinder. Two barrels. Why? So if one line leaks, you only lose two wheel braking. What if the whole cylinder leaks? You can still use the e-brake (Another redundant braking device) and the transmission to slow you down. I got all of that for $6K. And I don't have to worry about communicating to a tower everytime I want to go anywhere.

I was just SUPERPISSED about the car. I didn't have a say in getting it. But I am fixing some of the problems. The stuff I can't fix will be done in the shop.
I'm just a ranting pilot, is all. I'm known as "weird" and a whole bunch of other things that I would prefer to forget. But I say to hell with them. It's their problem, not mine.
New problems emerged, but it's OK. Nothing I can't fix. If anything else goes, however, the car will go too. Now we're all getting tired of the car. I am seriously contemplating selling it.
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.

Well, can't I agree?
But seriously, I only see my car as a means of transit. I prefer flying over driving, is all.
Just check out http://www.beapilot.com and get a coupon for your first flight lesson at one of their listed schools. You'll see what I mean.
Seriously.

right!!!!!!! i'm sure flying is great..in fact it prob. rivals a orgasm for the best fealing award ..but this IS a car forum..we like to drive here,talk about cars,and be rude to each other,we really dont want to hear references to being a pilot,and how ugly the contour is

Yup! You're right about flying. It's the best fun you can have with your clothes on!
Hey, we all have tastes. I had no say in getting the Tour. But, what do you do when you get a lemon?
