Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Ford Contour Front Wheel Drive
I have a 1997 Ford Contour Sport. The other night, I drove about 30-40 miles and approached a town, and while slowing down, the engine died. I pulled over and after letting it sit about 30 plus mins, it started right up and drove another 10-20 miles. It will drive fine, if only going on short drives, but if you go any amount of miles, the engine dies, then after you let it sit, it will go again for a bit... but you have to let it sit for at least 30 mins, before it will start back up.
