engine cut out
HI...would appreciate some advice on how to get my 1995 ford probe 2.0 running properly ! The car keeps cutting out resulting in Breakdown being called once again to visit various garages ... so far the following has been done --- new battery.. ignition barrel check /switch relay changed ... new starter motor ..new distributor...radiator changed /thermostat.. water pump checked ... belts tightened...oil /plugs /filter and service ... last week the car was actually given 12 months M.O.T. despite the fact that they thought it could be running better! Took it out for a longer run this week and within 5 miles i was on a dual carriageway travelling at about 60mph and the engine cut out ... wouldnt start ... 15 mins later did start as the Breakdown truck arrived again ! Any ideas / suggestions would be welcome as i cannot trust taking this car any distance it seems ... My other ford probe ( fortunately own 2 ) has twice the mileage but runs fine !! HELP ! Thanks Peterb 1126

Sounds like classic dizzy, or moby to me!
MAF might make it run like shit, but cut out altogether like that…?![Geek :geek:](./images/smilies/icon_e_geek.gif)

Re: engine cut out
You should ALWAYS have a known working spare distributor anyway , so has to be a first try.
Plus, if the immobiliser hasn't been modified , that has to be sorted too.
