94 ford probe gt won't stay running

[Russ06]

Hope someone can help. I replaced the distributor approx. three to four months ago and car ran great, but now it won't stay running. I replaced the fuel filter, and spark plugs, but am not getting any spark to the plugs although I am getting spark to the coil. Any ideas of what this problem could be caused by?

When you say you replaced the distributor a few months ago, did you replace it with a new one or a used one? If you installed a used one from one of these years perhaps it is faulty as well. The distributors on the 93 and 94 are notorious for quitting. If you get spark as far as the dist but not after, there is your problem. Try replacing it with one our of a 95 or newer car. I happen to have one out of a wrecked( accident, write off) 95 if you need it. I am in Canada.
Good luck

it's most likely the coil... the factory coil packs in the 93-94's are placed inside the distributer, and get very hot and are very prone to breakage. i went through the exact problem, replacing three distributers this saved me lots of time and money (i diddn't know how to install a distributer, so i had to pay $70 everytime the thing failed... not cool)

Good luck to you, make sure you solder all connections, and get a good solid ground.

its called vapor lock. theres not enough air in your gas tank for the fuel to flow smooth. whenever it starts stalling, open your tank and it should make a sucking noise. that should fix it. rev it up a couple of times, also use injector cleaner if necessary. good luck!
