My first problem EVER on my contour was this same symptom. All it turned out to be was that the PCM had lost configuration (or something like that
). The dealer told me it was still safe to drive, however, you're situation may be different considering you temp. gauge going to the right a few days back. Go with AussieSVT's advice and don't screw around and get it to dealer or someone who can read the CEL Code.
