hi, i have a 93 probe 5spd and recently when i start the car it will do its normal thing and then it will just die. the check engine light has been comming on a lot lately and fuel cutout as well. can someone give me an idea on what is going on and what i should fix?? thanks derek

The same thing happened to me, and I replaced the MAF ( Mass Air Flow Sensor). Now everything is working fine!!! fordprobeman

thanks fordprobeman, i think ill try replacing it then. how much do they cost? and do you have an idea as to why my car dies sometime on startup? i have brand new spark plugs, ignition wires.. could it be the fuel pump? fuel filter? fuel injectors? i have no clue and i would rather get advice here than to pay some mechanic 75 bucks an hour to try and figure it out. thanks

what type of air filter do you have? check maf, plugs, plug wires. this is what i did to my car when it happen to me. it turn out to be my plug wires. freddie townsend 94 probe se >

I replaced my plug wires, ignition coil, spark plugs, fuel filter, distributor, and rotor. I finally replaced the MAF and everything worked as soon as I replaced it. The MAF is $160.00 from Ford. I got it for $39.00 because I'm cool with the owner. fordprobeman
