I just bought a 89 Ford probe. It kept bogging out on me. So i changed the fuel filter put some 93 octane and some fuel injector cleaner in it.. After that i drove it too work back home to another family's then home. Let it set for about 2 hours then went out tried to start it and it will not start.. I took the fuel line off one side of the fuel filter and see if the fuel pump was working it shot gas.. Hooked the line back up and the car started with no hesitation. Let it run for a minute then shut it back off then fired it right back up.. Come inside for about 10 minutes then tried starting it again and it wont start??? How could this possibly be??? Please help1989 Ford Probe GT..Wont start but i think its somthing simple??PLEASE HELP =(?
Don r is right but also you may need to have the Fuel Tank and Filter in the Tank checked, sounds like you're picking up something out of the tank and it's getting throw to the Filter because the Filter in the tank is Bad. %26quot;Yes there are two Filters but the one in the tank almost never need to be changed%26quot;.1989 Ford Probe GT..Wont start but i think its somthing simple??PLEASE HELP =(?
When you shook up the fuel filter the corruption plugging it was dislodged. Put a new, clean filter on it. If you're stuck, shake or knock on the filter so you can drive it home.
