Question about 1994 Ford Probe

Engines idles rough and shuts off

I have a 94 ford probe the car for the most part runs great but most of the time when the car warms up and you take off will do great for about 10 minutes and then you come to a stop the engine will run rough and eventually quites. If i give it more gas and keep the idle up the car will run great once i get my foot off the gas pedal shuts off what could be the cause of this????

Try replacing the ignition wires. I had the same problem but after I changed those it ran just fine. My 94 probe was only running on 3 of the 4 cylinders so try the ignition wires that should help

Hi, I too am having the same problem with my 94 Probe and believe it is the 5 to 10 percent ethanol they put in the gasoline that is causing the problem. Try draining the gas out and putting in 100 percent gas with no alcohol and by the second tank, it should be much better.

  1. Answer: The engine noise, it is impossible for us to help you here without listening to the engine ourselves. As for your idling problem, check all the vacuum hoses and intake manifold gaskets as you might have a slight vacuum leak somewhere. In addition, check the idle speed control motor to make sure it is operating properly. If all checks out okay, scan the computer for fault codes. Scan the computer for fault codes. Also, check the oxygen sensor and coolant sensors and also Check your EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve it sounds like it is stuck open and needs replacing

    Check the fuel pressure regulator, if the diagram is ruptured it will leak fuel into the intake manifold causing the hard starting.also check spark plugs

ROugh idle
there are 2 things that usually cause this, one is a dirty intake idle control valve and the other is hard engine mounts, I would say that both most likely apply to your car. try cleaning the intake with the following procedure from Ford.
Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle rough idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve (IAC for short), they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

Sounds like a bad IAC (idle air control valve/sensor) that controls your idle when going from throttle to idle. If bad your idle will act crazy and can cause stalls easily. Pretty sure that's it.

Why is my 1994 Chevy S10 Blazer lugging? motor shakes and lugs.
Could be vacuum leak or bad ignition wire(s).

I had a similar problem on my "93 Ford probe. The engine idled pretty rough with shakes, Turned out to be a head gasket leaking engine coolant into the cylinder during low rpm's. At fast rpm's it was fine becuase the internal cylinder pressure was greater than the hot coolant pressure & would prevent the coolant from leaking in.

A friend has the same problem with his "94 Blazer 4.3 L, throttle body injection, manual tranny. He hasn't fixed it yet, It started a few weeks ago & is getting worse. His gets a fast idle with hiccups which causes the engine shake. He already checked the EGR valve. He also has a severe exhaust problem, Not oilly but very gray & terrible smelly, but only when the fast idle problem happens. THis fast idle hiccup problem starts when the engine is warmed up.
