88 is bogging when i give decent throttle
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2026 9:30 pm
I bought an 88 4x4 Bronco II and regeared the rear differential, and it didn't run for a while after that until I discovered the starter and solenoid were bad. I drove it after I got it running again, and it already was slow before the regearing, and i thought that the new gears might fix it. They did not, it is painfully slow, and the rpm won't move if i give it any gas. I drove it around for a while testing things out and noticed it went through a ton of fuel. I have put in new injectors and new wires for all of them as well as new spark plugs. It has a seemingly new distributor cap that is tightly on and does not spin. I have tried running it with the SPOUT disconnected and performance did not change. The car has a new high pressure pump and both fuel filters. I have tried to run codes many times but the obd1 does not seem to be working properly. As of today the truck no longer even wants to start, I have searched the forums and youtube and the manual but I have had no luck I am completely stumped. Any ideas are welcome, I will try to test them and reply as soon as I can.
Side note, my blower motor stopped working when I got it running again, it seems to be a connector issue as I have low to no voltage at the blower motor connector. Any advice is appricated.
