Contour ES 3.2L V6

I hate this car!!! I really liked it when we first bought it, but now I can't wait to get rid of it, but hate to unload it on an unsuspecting buyer.

The car is unreliable and a royal pain in the "you know where" at times!

I have had this problem more than once. Back in 2002 I drove to Colorado from TX and my car stopped on me. I took it to a Ford sales lot and they hooked it up to a diagnostic machine for 24 hrs. When I went to pick it up they told me nothing was wrong with my car. I drove back to TX with it and it broke down again. I took it to another Ford dealer who hooked it up to another machine and again said nothing was wrong. For the next 6 months I had to make sure that my gas tank did not go BELOW 3/4 of a tank. If it did then I was stuck on the side of the road. Finally I took it in for an oil change and they told me I needed a new fuel pump. It was very frustrating. I have had nothing but heartache and debt since I purchused my 2000 Ford Contour SE. I know how you feel.

After going over a speed bump - the car started shuttering and sputting like the fuel was not getting to the motor. Was able to get to a parking space. Upon further investigation we have found that no power is getting to the pump itself. Could this be a safety feature? How do we reset this? This is very frustrating. I've had many problems already - the dash board coming up, the starter makes a whir often and won't start right away
