Hi guys,
My 1996 Probe (Manual) engine shudders noticeably when I put it under load (anything over 3000 rpms) especially going up hills. I had the engine rebuilt 6 months ago and kept getting a check engine warning code for a faulty EGR valve. I replaced that along with the O2 sensor but the warning light remained. The engine shudder developed a month later. I've taken it to 3 mechanics now and they are all scratching their heads. Has anyone got any idea as to what the problem might be? Neo. |

I'd be checking engine mounts as a possible cause.
Cheers Russ

Thanks Russ. I've also had advice to check the timing belt.

Thanks Dru. I had the leads replaced when I got the engine rebuild 6 months ago.

It's the V6. It looks like it may be a CV joint problem.
