1989 Probe won't stay running
I have an 89 Probe that kept cutting out while driving. It finally stopped running all together. I have replaced the distributor cap, spark plugs, fuel filter and fuses. It will start but then won't stay running. Any suggestions what else to try. It is getting power from the starter and to the starter.

We usually need three- four things for the engine to run.
1. Fuel
2. Spark
3. Air
4. The above 3 in the right place at the right time.
The easiest thing to check for is air, make sure the air filter is not plugged.
Then the next easiest is to check for spark.
Then you verify that you are getting enough fuel at the right pressure.
If you are getting the above three the last requires a compression test and most of the time one of the above three could be the problem.
