My ford probe 1991Stalls,Idles really low,and after 10 mins of driving it dies! HELP?
Which engine do you have here?? 3.0 Vulcan or MAZDA??? EIther way, locate, remove, and clean your IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. Your engine works BACKWARDS from cars with a carburetor. The "gas" pedal is really the "air"pedal. If you are adding "air" to the engine, and it starts, then you most likley have a VERY dirty idle air control valve. Clean the throttle body as well.If the person that repaired your car did not clean all these things out, he did a very sloppy job. Engines should be clean as new when work is done on them. The IAC valve will prevent a good idle if it is THAT DIRTY!! If this doesn't help, then you have other issues. This cleanign should cost you a can of Gum-out spray. GOOD LUCK!!
