Hi Seth, Check out your engine and gear box mountings! Regards John

I suspect the fuel pump has gone,sorry.

try turning the idle screw counterclockwise. #5 in the pic below.

Hi I am stuck in 2nd too.But I have a Probe 1989 GT and shifter will not move. I am told I need to tap/hit some rods in the tranny, after I remove about 10 bolts on the side of the tranny, and this would unstick it. Could work for yours too. I did see someone ask "what if the shifter moves? then its more of the shift gates, and is easy to fix. I not see answer to how, tho.

ran it without oil stoped shut it off now it wont start it cranks all day but dont start

Check your slave cylinder Usually located below the brake master cylinder. If there' Fluid you probably need a clutch.

You don't have torque converter shudder. You don't even mention that in your original post! You def had a solenoid issue. My 94 STS did the same thing. I only had reverse, 1st and 2nd gear. Wouldn't shift outa 2nd period. It was a $200 solenoid repair. Car had a 160K on it when that happened. I have almost 170k on it now. Shifts and works fine. you don't need the tranny replaces ad josavv63 indicates.
