My Probe will surge once every couple of weeks. Once it starts it will continue to do it. I have found out that if I bleed the cooling system, it lessens the chance of it happening for another couple of weeks. I tried to find any signs of anti freeze leaking but cannot see any. I have thought about a vacuum leak but have no idea of how to check this. Since the Probe is a 1993, no one around here has the adapter to fit the engine. The closest I can get to it is a 1995 Probe adapter. The check engine light is on but with no way to check what it is saying, that lead does me no good. I have noticed lately that once in a while the computer will beep 5 times, stop, beep 5 times , etc. It beeps a total of six times with each time being 5 beeps. Any help for this would be greatly appreciated. Could the Air Idle Control Valve cause the engine to surge? Or can the 02 sensor cause this? The car has a 2.5L V6 engine that runs like a dream otherwise. I am just absolutely frustrated with trying to find out what is causing this problem. From what I know , this car has never been winter driven and I don't drive it during the winter months.If you know what the Probe 6 cylinder engines are like, you will realize how tightly it is fit into the 4 cylinder bay. If any further information is required, please let me know. Thanks.

Know how you feel, not knowing what exactly is worng with your car is the most frustrating thing in the world. Does your car just surge and quit or does it just cut out on you? The latter keeps happening to me, so now I'm left with a 3200 lb. paperweight and no way to get to work. Would you also happen to know where the Air Idle Control Valve would be located on your block so I can guess where it is on mine?
