93 Ford Probe Fuel Light Prob

Hello Eric - Is this a trouble indicator on the dash or a warning lamp in the console?

Matt

This light is on the dashboard, lit up bright orange.

I used to have the auto version of that car years ago. It was a great machine... very fast and held the road nicely. IIRC, the inertia switch is in the back. Open the hatch and then the left panel door. If not there then try the right panel door. And towards the front of the door's compartment. Are you sure the 2.5 is burning oil? The valve cover seals don't last long and tended to leak quite a bit.

Hey Paul, thanks for the tips.. the inertia switch is engaged, I doublecheck it tonite, it is pushed all the way in. As I said, the car does start and runs good, revs high, runs fast, but the fuel cutoff light stays lit. My haynes book of course shows nothing about this except to where the IIRC is.. the 2.5 is burning oil, the valve covers are tight, it's probably the stem seals.., nothing's coming out of the tailpipe..

Is it fuel cutoff or low-fuel?!!!!

And if it uses 1qt/400 you either arent looking close enough at the right time or you have puddles.

It cant possibly be burning that much without smoke, sometime... watch when you start it cold.... if smoke, stem seals.

IIRC, my 93 PGT did not have a fuel cutoff light. Is your's the US version of the Mazda Ford? On the oil consumption... the catcon can only crack so much hydrocarbon and then it melts down.

It is the Fuel Cutoff light that is on.

This is the Mazda MX-6 in disguise.. It's got a fuel cutoff light on the dash.
