I have just recently bought my Probe for £300. It had no history which is why I was able to get it quite cheap.
However after 2 weeks of driving it I discovered that that engine cuts out while I am driving. This happens whether the engine is warm or cold. Sometimes very frequently other time infrequently.
Having called & taken to various mechanics they say that it could be a number of things. Most if not all have asked for over £100 just to have a look at it & they have assured me there is no guarantee that they will find the fault.
Can anyone help?
For £300 I think I have got a good deal. Despite 125k on the clock it still sounds sweet. Its quite a drinker giving me 250 miles per tank.
The cabin is clapped out with plastics falling off the dash. No rust on roof though which is a common problem. It smokes when I start it.
Okay then, your probe cutting out is a very common fault. It is the immobilser playing up affecting the distributor.
For full details on how to fix this problem before it cuts out altogether you can get full help at: www.ukpoc.co.uk (UK probe owners club)
