Why does the check engine light in my Probe turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Probe testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why does my Ford engine sound different?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Ford Probe engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Ford Probe engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my Ford Probe radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Probe when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my Probe to suddenly stop?

Your Probe car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
