I posted a question to this forum on May 21 titled "1996 Ford Probe Engine misses and stalls", but unfortunately didn't get any responses. I am going to try one more time and post another question. Adding on to the first one.
I took my Probe to another Auto Repair shop to have Diagnostics ran on it, and so far after having the car for over 4 days, they cannot find the problem. They said everything checks out and reads on the computer the way it should. They cannot find ANYTHING wrong with it. This is the second place that has told us this! BUT there is a problem. It stalls out when I press the accelerator to drive the car! I haven't been able to drive my car in about a month!
What would be wrong with it, that won't show up on Diagnostics? Please this time someone give me some help!
Thanks!

Only two thing for that problem and they are, fuel pump pressure low, and TPS(Throttle possition sensor) and either can be out of range enough to cause problems and not set a code. Unless the PCM itself is gone!

The fuel pressure is fine and it has a brand new Throttle Position Sensor. But, wouldn't those show up on a Diagnostics IF they were bad?
