Changing gears stall/backfire

Post by joshstegall »

My bronco runs great, except for when going up a hill just after changing gears when they rpms are lower and there is more stress. I will totally lose power and want to stall. If you are over 2000 RPMs, it has all of the power in the world and runs perfectly. I have run Sea Foam through it and changed wires and plugs in an effort to correct it. Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks!

Mine did the same thing. Before i bought my b2 it had set for about 8 years. Check to see if your fuel pump under the driver side door is working. Should hear a click and a buzz. If it is. Check your fuel filters. You have two. One between the fule tank and the fuel pump on the frame rail just underneath the drivers door. Its in a round black plastic case. It will have two fuel lines comming into it and two coming out. May need an oil can wrench to get it off and then you have another one after the fuel pump on the frame rail. Kinda hard to see just follow the lines. Should run you about 25 bucks and about 30 min to do. Mine looked like they had been dropped in a bucket of mud, fuel looked like coffee.
