1993 Ford Probe Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1993 Ford Probe documents the two-door hatchback in three trims, Base, GT and SE, with two naturally aspirated DOHC gasoline engines: the 2.5L V6 and the 2.0L inline-four of 122 cubic inches. The V6 and the four each get their own procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics where they differ, and the hatchback body and chassis are covered in common for the three trims, which keeps one reference serviceable across the whole 1993 lineup.
