Can anyone tell me anything about the fuel cut off light/switch/system on a 1995 ford probe? we have a dead probe that will kick over but not run, we have no power to the fuel pump when the ignition on acc
I have a 1994 Probe with a V6. I just replaced the timing belt due to a noisey iddler bearing and it ran great for 5 minutes. The "Fuel Cutoff Light" appeared immediately after starting the engine but it still ran for 5 minutes. I had never seen this indicator light before. I pressed the fuel pump reset button in the trunk but it did not help. Tomorrow I will verify that I don't have 12 volts at the fuel pump while I am trying to start the engine.
Are there any sensors that would make the control module think there is a broken fuel line and shut the system down? Any ideas would be appreciated.

There is a fuse and a relay that need to be checked they are located in the fuse box under the hood. if there is a cut off it will be located in the trunk behind the fabric.

It could be any thing from your fuel "cut off" (right side lower kick panel... (push DOWN))... FUSES:COP ignition system (no spark)... fuel pressure issues... (use spark tester)
Do you have any unusual "engine lights"...?
You have gotten all those wild varmints from under the hood... cleared the air filter... the fuel is fresh...?
Lastly.. if it is catching... but refusing to run...
Check to see your exhaust is not BLOCKED by a failed catalytic converter... or loose baffle plate in your mufflers
Do check out the engine CODES to see if you OBD2 system is telling you anything.
it is a transmission issue which are no stranger to ford probes, not sure exactly what part is faulty inside the transmission but in most cases with that vehicle it is not do it yourself, the only thing you can try is replacing the filter and fluid in the pan.
It could be a wiring problem. I have seen where kids try and put a speaker system in their car, and they cut or pull one too many wires. Then something like this happens. Your best bet would try and get your hands on a owners manual and see what wires are being moved or not connected.
the hit from behind avtivated the fuel cut off switch, its in the boot left side above the water resivouar. it has a black rubber cover just push it down to restart the fuel pump
This to me sounds like it could be the fuel pump but first I would check the simpler solution and make sure your alternator is good because if your started turns over fine but the car wont start the next part to check would be for me the alternator.
