Oil pressure sender / switch
1996 2.0 ltr 16v Probe. Oil leaking from oil pressure switch above oil filter Fitted a Bosch 0 986 345 001 supplied by local motor factor but although it fits, the oil pressure gauge doesn't work properly - reads midway whether running or not. So I'm guessing its wrong. It looks just like a regular ...

Re: Probe won't rev beyond 4000rpm and lacks power
Its fixed - thank you very much for your input. I removed the distributor again and replaced the coil - road tested it and it seems great - better than I remembered it being! It seems the problems were distributor related (as suggested) and confused by the HEI ignition module adaption that I fitted ...

Re: Probe won't rev beyond 4000rpm and lacks power
So I'd changed the VAF (MAF) without any change - still wouldn't rev properly. But a new £10 part arrived from China - a Mitsubishi M67580 transistor. This matched the one in an old (previously faulty, possibly original) distributor which I'd kept for spares. I removed the original transistor / igni...

Re: Probe won't rev beyond 4000rpm and lacks power
Thanks for the reply. Dizzy or VAF? VAF? Is that what I call MAF (Mass Airflow sensor)? Or is it something to do with fuel pressure? I tested the old fuel and new fuel side by side out of two separate fuel cans and using an external pump and found this time that the results were identical. The car r...

Probe won't rev beyond 4000rpm and lacks power
1996 2.0ltr 16v Ford Probe. Owned by my mother for nearly 20 years. She stopped using it 3 years ago as it was running badly and it was stored - but at age 79, she now wants it fixed! I've kept it running for many years but am struggling with its current problem. It starts great and revs cleanly wit...
