1993-1997 Ford Probe: Why does my RPM randomly go up to about 3500.

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 10:30:24 -0700

The problem:

The RPM goes crazy sometimes, it seems to happen most about 15-20 minutes after startup, it runs up to the mid 3000s then goes back to normal after about 10 seconds, then the check engine light comes on. The weird thing is that the light goes off when it happens again and turns back on after it stops.

Other information that might be helpful:

This car sat for 18 years until I bought it and got it running about 6 months ago.

Things I’ve tried:

Made sure that the mass airflow sensor was clean and able to move freely.

Made sure that the throttle position control sensor was bolted down tightly.

Checked the intake manifold for leaks

Checked the wires for all the sensors that I could find.

1993-1997 Ford Probe: My 96 ford probe gt is shutting off and turning back on.

I had just replaced the timing belt and the water pump with pulleys, and put a new distributor in. The wire that goes to my security system was cut. Not sure if that would effect anything. I'm not sure if it's the crank shaft sensor either.

1993-1997 Ford Probe: No oil in oil filter?

Mon, 27 Apr 2020 21:43:07 -0700

So we had to change the oil pan gasket on our 1995 Ford Probe SE. Piece of cake. New oil, new filter. Oil leaking from oil pressure switch so we had to remove the oil filter to get to the switch.

When we removed the oil filter there was no oil in the filter. And we had just driven 22 miles. So I'm confused. This isn't the first time I worked on a car. The oil pick up tube in the pan was clean as as a bell. Any ideas?

Windshield wipers work, it's just when I turn them off they stop straight up. How do I fix this???
