What causes a ford probe to have a low idle and die while driving or idling and sometimes start back up and run and other times start up and die immediately?

It sounds like you have a faulty MAF (Mass air flow) sensor. It is the big black square portion on the air tube leading from the air filter to the throttlebody on the intake. If it is an V6 I would also check the distributor since they are prone to fail and quite costly. If it is the distributor go on Google and do a search for Ford Probe +HEI
