My book says it's an emmissions problem and most likely the catalytic converter. Answer. There are pages and pages of causes for a check engine light. You need to have it checked for codes.

Why does your 98 Ford Contour SE Sport's automatic transmission shift very hard between first and second gears when it never used to do this?

The transmission is a 4 speed computer controlled model. If your transmission starts shifting erratic or not at all, then make sure you or a shop run a scanner on the vehicle. You want to see if you have a sensor that has gone bad, causing your problems. The vehicle speed and transmission range sensors like to go bad on vehicles with these transmissions in them.
