Wondering if I can get hubby to hurry his butt up!



You are sure one patient wife. My wife would have trown my butt out the door by now. If her Lexus wasn't running right for a day or two, she'd go over to the Lexus dealer and buy a new one, tell me that I could come back home once I had the old one fixed, sold, and money in hand...

If you can get your Contour running, and are lucky enough to get the check engine light to come on, immediately get those codes read at the local AutoZone. Better yet, get a cheap code reader from Wal-Mart, use it until your vehicle is fixed (has a button to reset the codes once you have fixed the problem), then return it. Better yet - get your husband down to Wal-Mart to pick up the code reader as his "holiday gift" until the vehicle is fixed. Your husband is lucky that you are so patient... where did I go wrong?
