1994 Ford Probe engine problems

Filed Nov 23, 2010 · Engine · 220,000 miles · WA

I am concerned because one 1994 ford probe 2.0 is affiliated with tsb no. 96-21-3 that recognizes a defect in the oil pump. The defect is associated with lifter bleed down, low or high oil pressure and lack of power. While operating this motor vehicle in a traffic environment, I may not have the ability to accelerate efficiently and/or cease the motor due to improper disbursement of engine oil. This condition could potentially create a hazard or accident to myself or others

While driving on freeway 60mph+, RPM dropped to zero, then vehicle died. In the middle of the freeway. This happened 6 times starting in early feb. 2000. Dealer found a tsb (trade service bulletin), after 3 trips to their shop, showing that the distributor stator had failed in other ford probes. Potentially very dangerous when a vehicle stalls in the middle of the freeway - especially in a metro area like seattle.

Ignition coil in distributor deteriorates on 93 & 94 ford probe v-6 models. Ford has a tsb for this problem. It is very dangerous as the engine dies, as if someone reached over & turned the ignition key off. It happened to us on the highway at 65mph. This is a common problem for the years 93 & 94 and it is very dangerous. Also, common problem for this vehicle engine is the wells the spark plugs sit in fill up with oil after a period of time because the failure of the gaskets (valve cover or spark plug grommets). Again ford has a tsb on this but does not do anything to help the consumer fix a design problem. It shorts out the engine and the plug wires, distributor, rotor and engine all have to be fixed. Very expensive (over $600 for this and over $700 for the disbributor problem.
