In my case when the fuel cutoff light came on and the engine died it was the distributor. hope this helps.
-- jamieazure: I just had my 1994 Probe GT fixed after trying to troubleshoot this problem for the last week. It's pretty cold here in MN, so when I started the car up it was perfectly fine. It would run for about 10miles, then the tach would just drop out like the power was cut off to the car. I'd drift to the side of the road, wait about 10min and it would start back up. Turns out my distributor was failing when it got too hot. Replaced it last night with a new (remanufactured) one ($240.00) and it appears to be working great now.
did you try reseting the fuel cutoff in the truck. it will be under the carpet, drivers side, there will be a sign.
I have a 1994 Probe GT and that has happened to me before. To fix this problem, there is a fuel cutoff switch on the driver's side of the trunk hidden behind the plastic trunk panels. Make sure the red button is clicked down all the way, and you should be good to go. The car will cut off all fuel to the engine if that switch is tripped.
The fuel cutoff / inertia switch is located in the trunk on the left side quarter panel under the carpet. Most have a rubber boot on them.
you might wanna have your tranny checked my dads probe did the same thing right b4 the tranny went out of it
the fuel cut off light comes on when there is a problem with the fuel cutoff switch (whether its bad or tripped) and/or when there is a problem with the charging system. your situation seems to be that the alternator belt is slipping which would cause lights n such to dim and lose power and the fuel cutoff light to come on. inspect the alternator belt, replace if worn or tighten it
For the 1994, you have to remove the negative battery cable, then depress the brake and hold it in for 5 seconds to reset the check engine light.
NO.
The fuel pump safety triggers in case of accident. The fuel cutoff light indicates this was triggered. The fuel pump is located in the luggage trunk under a plastic cap and needs to be rearmed by pushing a button. Instructions can be found in the 1994 ford usage manual (that was delivered along with your car).
yes....
Dodge does not use inertia/cutoff switches.
Unlike Fords, Chevrolets do not have an emergency cutoff switch.
