I just ran a check on 'check engine' in this forum and it showed up that in average, one new post per day. This is simply outrageous. Remember the California recall on Ford starter? We did not even see much starter problems yet. If we gether together, and write to the D.O.T., or find a good lawyer, we may be able to have Ford recall all Contours on the emission system. If you think you are lucky on the CEL, the theory is that you'll have it on tomorrow. That happened on me.
