15

To read the morse code: long =10, short =1. 1 long +5 short = 15

You are right, jm12.

And here are the codes as used in the Ford Probe GT:
Interpreting the Codes:
There are quite a few codes. The following table shows the codes for the 1994 Probe GT (and a couple for the 1993) and what they mean:
Code
Circuit Diagnosed
Memorized?
'NE2' crankshaft position sensor
Yes
'G' camshaft position sensor
Yes
'NE1' camshaft/crankshaft position sensor
Yes
Knock sensor
Yes
Volume Air Flow sensor (VAF)
Yes
Coolant temperature sensor (CTS)
Yes
Intake air temperature sensor (IAT)
Yes
Throttle position sensor (TPS)
Yes
Barometric pressure sensor
Yes
LHO2S inactivation error
Yes
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system
Yes
LHO2S inversion error
Yes
RHO2S inactivation error
Yes
RHO2S inversion error
Yes
Fuel pressure regulator control solenoid
Yes
Canister purge solenoid
No
EGR vacuum solenoid
No
EGR vent solenoid
No
Idle air control (IAC) solenoid
No
VRIS #1 solenoid
No
VRIS #2 solenoid
No
LFAN relay (1993 only)
No
ECTF sensor (1993 only)
Yes

So focus on the EGR. Pull out the EGR valve out and clean it and check it for operation. Clean the passages and orifices. EricTheCarGuy has a good video on Youtube.
Once you have that working the knock sensor will likely be fine as well.

I suggest you reset the CEL by disconnecting the battery negative and stepping on the brake for 5 seconds or so. The brake light circuit will drain any residual voltage from the computer and thus erase the memory.

If the CEL comes on again you know there is still work to do.

I wish I could take yourMX 3 for a spin!

ECTF sensor stands for "Engine coolant temperature Fan" sensor.
