Please help with my 86 Bronco II
Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:17 pm
Ok I have been reading all kinds of stuff online about this problem but I have not found any solutions to it yet..
I've got a 1986 Ford Bronco II with the 2.9 v6 and it keeps shutting off on me after driving it for a while.. Let me try to explain what it's doing and then I'll list what I've replaced.
Ok now it'll start up fine, I can take off in it and drive for about 9 or 10 miles then it'll start sputtering and bucking real bad like it's running outta gas (gas gauge works and it's got 1/4 tank) then it'll just die. After letting it sit for a few minutes, I can fire it back up but now it runs like crap. I can take off in it but now I can only go about 1 or 2 miles before it starts doing the same thing (doesn't matter if it's hot or cold outside)..... I pop the hood and check for fuel pressure and I've got gas spraying out of the Schrader valve and I've got spark from the coil pack and the distributor.. The Fuel Pump Relay and the EEC Relay feel like they're hot when I touch them but I'm sure that they would be anyways since it's hot under the hood and the Relays are under currency or whatever!!
Now to what I've replaced
ECM (August 26th)
Coil Pack
Spark Plug Wires
Spark Plugs
High Pressure Pump
Fuel Pump Sending Unit in rear tank (with new pump)
Starter (cause the Starter was feeling hot to the touch when it'd die)
I don't want to keep dumping money into this dang thing cause I am currently not working due to no transportation.. I'm wondering if it's worth fixing or if I should just sell it and let someone else deal with the headaches.. Please Please Please if anyone sees this and knows what it IS let me know....
Thanks in advance,
Richard
