I just got this contour about a week ago. 2000 with 87k miles. Drove fine for a few days. Engine light came on. Figured I'd check it out on friday. Well, this afternoon, I started it and when I pressed the gas, it stalled. Started it again and it was fine. A few hours later, started it, and it stalled again when I pressed the gas. Started it and let it idle for a few, and it seemed fine, loping a little. Later and still warm, started right up and drove fine to town. A few hours later, started it, stalled, started it, let it idle a few, stalled when I pressed the gas. Started it and started to drive home. Going downhill about 35mph, I pressed the gas and it died. Tried to start a few times and then it just stopped turning over. Had to walk 2 miles to get home and now have a week old car on the freeway. Any similar problems or suggestions?
