Default where do i go to get info about ford probes?

my friends got a bit of a mess and were tryign to get his motor back together as he just got his license. basically when it fires it is backfiring, or just coughing and sputtering out. also, something troubling me is the throttle cable which is far too long, like 2-3" too long and there is no gas pedal...how do you adjust the throttle cable? where do i go for answers?

btw, this probe has the sloppiest shifter i have ever felt, and i drove commercial ladder trucks for 5 year.s

www.probetalk.com maybe? :dunno:

I imagine that Ford owners have plenty of experience in the area of maintaining a crappy car. Whether they possess enough intelligence to explain anything to you, I don't know. I suppose anything's possible.

I would suggest going to Murray's. Likely anyone who works there has sold nearly a full Probe worth of parts, and should know how to assemble one.
