The funny thing was that I wrote this before anything happened. I herd that phrase and thought, “Well, this can only end on the side of the road.” I can see the future!

That's the best way to shake down a car. If it holds up, then you know you've got a good one!

why not? because these are known for cracking engine blocks when pushed too hard. been there, done that lol

Nice! Haven't seen an MX-6 in person in a long time!!!

@speedyspeesboi. Any chance you have a set of headlight housings driver and passenger for the MX6 lying around?

Great car doing up my 1996 mx6 GT itll definetly set all the riced out cars back to their homes

We have a bunch of them in my Family

@@youtuberbayleexiong908 could you make a video on them? I would love to see them.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you for watching!! :) :)

The probe series is campy fun video and for those of us who owned this - nostalgia filled ... PTSD. Everything experienced was a daily experience for those of us and in our younger days , you dont need $4-5 a gallon gas, a 25mpg tops car, and one that breaks down in an infinite amount of ways. Theres a reason the mechanics turn off the lights and close the bay doors when they see these roll up. It doesnt help that they got a few years on them and then FAST & FURIOUS came out which I'm sure killed most of them. When one is gutted out, on lowered coils, it is described as steering on rails. The VRIS will cause issues eventually. ProbeTalk forums is where past victims (owners) hang out. Mine jumped a tooth on the belt and sounded like hell unleashed coming out of the throttle body. Do the KLZE swap, underweight pulleys, cat delete, lower, gutted, turbo and have the funnest 10 miles of your life before it blows. Also it was interesting that you could enter a diagnostic mode in these cars by shorting a connection under the hood and the check engine light flashes out all the codes. Oh and beware, if a Plymouth Laser, Pontiac Sunfire, Nissan 240sx, Honda civic, Talon Eclipse, Ford Sho, Acura Integra or Prelude pulled up beside you, it was required by unspoken law that you had to race on green.

I'm 5 years and way too much money into my 93 GT, but I'd drive it to Florida and back at this point (I'm from Ohio)

Can confirm. In 2005, my stepdad had a 1993 SHO. He went out and bought a 1994 PGT as a backup, but decided against the backup idea and flipped it instead. Sold the SHO, bought a 2002 9-3 turbo.

Yeah but those had trash yamaha engines. Probes atleast have mazda engines.

@@sezuawn3861 awe man I was considering buying one as a daily

@@lclnbm don’t listen to that guy, the Yamaha engine is great

@@sezuawn3861 do you know anything about cars? Did you even know Toyota asked Yamaha for help to build the v10 in the Lexus LFA ?? Yamaha definitely makes slightly better engines than freaking Mazda who is just recently doing better compared to before when all they had was the Miata and the rx7 rotary which was just a good lightweight high output engine but reliability was ass which was opposite with the Miata engine

Yes it is! I have been considering it... 🤔

You are definitely young.

Getting closer!!!

🙂🙃

Good to hear that. I plan on doing same next month at our local cars and coffee. I have never seen a Probe before at ours. I would like to post the original window sticker also, to see the response. Thank you

Haha! Yeah I'm pretty sure it was just low coolant. Changing that other radiator cap couldn't hurt either. It had a small coolant leak from a hose a few weeks back, guess it leaked more than I had realized!

In all fairness, they would've gotten to the bottom of it had I brought it back. I just had the itch to try to figure it out myself!! Thanks for watching!!

😢😢😢

Thank you!!!

Oh nice! Thank you so much for watching! Keep that '94 Probe going, not many of these left!

@@HelloRoad Thanks so much for bringing the Probe to the forefront of many of your viewers (myself included)! I'm definitely gonna keep it running as long as I walk, it's awesome!

Thank you!!! :) :)

Thank you! It is indeed a battle!!

Awesome!! Glad you're enjoying the channel. Thanks so much for the purchase! Helps me continue to keep making videos :)

Actually not really most of it just my radiator and a lot of old and cracked hoses

Thank you!! Not sure valuable it is being a Ford Probe expert, but I'm working towards it!

@@HelloRoad It can be a valuable asset when swapping a kl-de engine into a mx3

That's what I'm learning! I've got some extras! Unfortunately the VRIS is still not quite working right. New solenoids solved the check engine light but I think there is another vacuum leak somewhere.

@@HelloRoad These solenoids can be got very cheap from aliexpress (like 5 USD each), and they are exactly the same. I just replaced 3 of them weeks ago. So buy a bunch of them. As for VRIS not working, check the check-valve under the manifold, it is usually broken creating a vacuum leak and preventing the VRIS and possibly the EGR to operate properly. Easy to test if you have a hand pump. Do you need vacuum schematics for the car?

Hey Sergio, do you have a part number for the solenoids? My 96pgt could use some. Thanks

@@ssanmor HEy Ive been trying to fix my CHEKC engine light on my 95PGT. What is the part number of those solonoids? I'm going to replace all 4..and see what happens, there is DEF a power drop when the check engine light is on, so would love to FINALLY Fix these!!

@@varsington Don't be so confident that replacing the VRIS solenoids will make any noticeable change in your performance and DEFINITELY they won't turn your CEL light off. Here is what I bought: es.aliexpress.com/item/4001108157087.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.274263c03KspYF

I will!! :) :)

Glad to hear I'm not alone. It's a constant battle!!! 😆

@@HelloRoad Yes sir indeed it is and if you don't mind I'd love to share this KZfaq video with. My fellow Ford Probe enthusiasts on Probe groups on Facebook.

@@psementalist Haha for sure! No problem! I'm probably in one of those groups!

Ugh bummer! Sometimes the jobs you think should be the easiest take the longest!!!

It really does sound great.

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the vid! Yes, I've been looking for an MX3 for ages!!

@@HelloRoad I'll keep my eye out for one for you buddy , ul here in canada were I live their very rare I own 2 mx6s a probe and a mx3 all v6 and i love them to pieces ! Keep up the great content and maybe join the Facebook probe ,mx3 and mx6 groups. were a close group and you would probably find one for dirt cheap ! Cheers man

Really glad you're enjoying my vids!! :) Thanks for the suggestions! A few others have also suggested replacing those other valves under the intake manifold. I guess I should've done that when the shop replaced the intake manifold gasket! 🤦‍♂️Maybe that's the next step. There is definitely still a vacuum leak, idles really low, and like yours shakes at idle. At stoplights I try to keep the RPMs up!

@@HelloRoad Well, you really need to perform basic adjustments to the car. Maybe you already know, but you need to set it to test mode (by joining the TEN and GND pins together in the diagnostics connector). In order to verify that you have successfully set the car to test mode, turn on contact (engine not yet started) and if you **slightly** touch the throttle butterfly it should activate the radiator fans. If you radiator fan is ON without touching anything, loosen the TPS and turn to the position when it JUST turns off. That's the PCM way to indicate that it detects a change in the idle switch. There is a specific calibration procedure for the position of the TPS so idle is detected properly (you will need feeler gauges). Also in that mode, you need a strobe gun to adjust your ignition timing to -10ºBTDC (there are marks above the crank pulley and you loosen the distributor and slightly turn it to get that). Finally, you need to adjust the idle adjustment screw on top of the butterfly to get around 600 rpm in test mode. You may need to open it a bit more (turning it anti-clockwise) but not too much or you will fool mixture and it will set lambda codes. If you need more info, just ask! But the above adjustments are basic for this car to run properly. If you want, send me your email and we can discuss in more depth. UPDATE: Yesterday I found a broken a/c pipe, so it looses all the gas. Another thing to fix...

hahaha!!

Me too! I just need more time!

Went a bit crazy there with the editing 😬
