What causes a 1997 ford probe with the 2.0 Mazda engine to misfire?

A misfire in a 1997 Ford Probe with the 2.0 Mazda engine can be caused by several factors. Common reasons include faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, or a clogged fuel filter. Additionally, issues with the engine's compression, timing, or air intake system can also lead to misfiring. It is recommended to conduct a thorough diagnostic check to pinpoint the exact cause of the misfire.

What do the probes do in a fermenter?

Probes in a fermenter are used to monitor and control key parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and agitation speed. These probes provide real-time data that helps ensure optimal conditions for the growth of microorganisms and the production of desired products during fermentation processes.

How do DNA probes work?

These are the tiny fragments of single stranded DNA which are labelled with radioactive materials or fluorescing material with base pairs complementary to the fragments of the VNTR regions of a DNA. These are used during electrophoresis or DNA fingerprinting in order to get the position of desired DNA.

For example; a VNTR region has base pair ATG, then the probe has got the base pairs TAC and a radiactive isotope, like P32 is attached to it. Now the probe combines only to those places where there are the VNTR regions. The isotope will now radiate and so the places from where radiations are received only contain the VNTRs. Hence we can specify the region.

hope u'll understand:)

What would happen if you reversed the red and black hookups when attempting to jump start a 95 probe SE?

Reversing the red and black hookups when jump starting a car can cause serious damage to the electrical system, including blown fuses, damaged electronics, and even a risk of fire. It is important to always double-check the correct polarity before jump starting a vehicle to avoid causing any harm.

What could cause a Ford Probe 20 engine timing not to change when the distributor is rotated one way or another?

Check the manual on that one. You may need to use a jumper to allow the timing to be changed. Check to see if there is a wire right below or connected to the distributor that has a cap on it. Open it up and you might see a 2 connector plug. That might be the place to put the jumper, but don't just go ahead and do it until you read the service manual on that one and figure out where the right procedure and the right setting. does the tachometer jump around before it shuts off? if so i fixed this by replacing the distributor.

97 probe no heat and overheating then BAM heat and cool temp WHY?

It is possible that there was an issue with the thermostat or air pockets in the cooling system that caused the initial overheating. Once the issue was addressed and proper circulation restored, the heat came on and the temperature returned to normal. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the cooling system is recommended to prevent similar issues in the future.

Why would a Saturn have no power if it was running fine when you turned it off?

I had this problem with my 1998 SL2. After I shut it off, it would not start up again unless I jump started it. My clock would reset also. When it happened at a convenience store, a guy offered to jump it for me, then he looked and saw that the battery cables were loose. He tightened them and it hasn't happened again. I don't know if this helps or not. ?AnswerSame thing happened to me with my 1998 SC2. Hasnt happened since i tightened the cables. ?Answerthis happened to me about 5 months ago. I have a 95 Saturn sl2. The terminal cable, on back of battery, was not completely connected and needed an entirely new battery. ?Answercould be many things, a bad alternator, a bad battery, or even bad wiring, so if the the battery terminal is fine, have your battery checked, then the alternator and hope that it isn't bad wiring ?AnswerI had the Same Problem last week with my 94 SC1 Coupe. Check the battery with an ohmeter, then check that your wires are connected good. But it is probably your alternator. Dont bring it to a shop because they will charge you a rediculous amount to fix. Just jack the car up and put it on stands, take the right plastic shield off near the right front wheel so u can see your alternator, find the tensioner bolt and take the serpentine belt off, disconnect your battery, use a 14 mm wrench and take off the two bolts holding your alternator on, remove the sensor which clips on, and another wire which is held on by a bolt, i bought a rebuild kit from CND tire and rebuilt it myself for 50 bucks..... but if not u can buy a new one for around 150$ give or take.... then just slap it back in, bolt her on, hook the wires up, put the belt back on ... (WHICH IS ALOT HARDER THAN TAKING IT OFF) Then hook your battery back up and shes good to go....
FYI: Next thing to go on your car will be your fuel pump... all Saturns folow the same road.... alternator first then fuel pump... :-(... good luck..!!

How many miles can a 1995 Ford Probe average in a lifetime?

I Have a '94 Probe GT. 230,000 miles and still going strong. The timing belt has been changed twice. Changed oil every 30,000 miles. (10w30 in summer, 5w30 in winter).

How do you fix engine overheating in a 1989 Ford Probe?

My best guess is that it is either a coolant fan relay or switch of some type. I have exactly the same problem and it left me on the freeway once or twice. The way I fixed it is i took some wire and ran it from the positive terminal into the cab of the car to a toggle switch, then two wires to the fans and then a wire to the negative terminal. When i connected the connection on one of the fans caught on fire so that didn't work for that one,but one of the fans did work and that was enough to get it the 200 miles back home and it has sat there ever since. I'm going to be working on this problem again here soon and if it is still a problem for you then E-mail me to let me know and i will E-mail you with what i find out. If you have found the solution by some other means then could you please E-mail me and let me know? Thank you.

=========================

Engine overheating may be caused by many different things. First, ensure that there are adequate levels of coolant in the system, and that the system is flushed completely every now and then. I bought a Prestone flush kit from Kragen for around $12 (i think). All that's required is to splice into one of your hoses near the firewall, where you install the fitting, and screw on a garden hose to reverse flush the system. Timing may also contribute to heating, especially if it is too far advanced. As the previous poster stated, check to make sure that your cooling fan comes on once the engine warms up. Cooling fan is the one on the drivers side of the engine, the other fan is only for the air conditioning. If your fan doesnt come on, you may have a bad coolant fan switch, located on the thermostat housing, or a bad fan relay switch, located in the relay switch box on the firewall. Also check that your fuses are all ok. Im not sure, but there may be multiple fuses, ones under the dash on the driver side, and also in the front under the hood, near the right side next to the battery. Also replace your thermostat, which is at the engine end of the coolant hose coming from the top of the radiator, as these are usually only $8-$20, and if frozen, will cause overheating. Water pump can fail as well, which requires a little more work, and should be checked. Lastly, if there is a leak in the head gasket or cylinder head, it could cause back pressure into the cooling system, preventing it from working correctly, and/or burning coolant in the cylinders (this just happened to me, and I just replaced my cylinder head and all gaskets). Check to see if there is any white colored smoke coming from the tailpipe when the car is running, if there is, your cylinder head or gasket may be bad. Take off the radiator cap with the engine running (when its cool), and add water til its full, if the water/coolant continually splashes up from the radiator filler neck, then pressure is escaping from the cylinder head and/or cylinders into your cooling system. Another sign of blown head gasket or warped or cracked cylinder head. A compression checker may help to narrow the leak to a certain cylinder.Sorry for the novel, but hope it helps someone, as overheating can be frustrating to pin down sometimes.

Replaced battery on '96 Ford Probe now car stalls when slow down but battery clamp broken so clamp have to do with stall?

More than likely. Get the clamp fixed! When going at speed, the clamp will vibrate, and will only be half re-charging the battery (the alternator re-charges it during operation). This means that when you slow down, you may not be getting any charge to it at all. Either that, or its just not making contact with the terminal when you have slowed down.

What do Probes attach themselves to?

Probes attach themselves to nothing.
