1970 Bronco Engine Other

Recently helped friend install remanufactured long block 302. Distributor will not fully seat - about 1/4 inch high (O Ring is visible). Measurements indicate distributor shaft is fully engaged on the oil pump shaft. Appears that the shaft needs to be shorter or somehow seated further into the oil pump. Plan to drop the oil pan, and remove the oil pump for inspection. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?

1989 Bronco Electrical & Lighting Systems Won't Start

My 89 ford bronco just developed this problem. I could turn the key and have power, but as soon as I touch it to start, I hear a click, then I have no power anywhere. No head lights, radio, ect. Just dead. It was resetting, and I'd try again with the same results. Thought maybe it was dead batt, so we jumped it, had little power, but would turn over (barely). I checked Battery and solenoid, seem to be fine. Was messing under dash, heard it click back in, and got it to start, but now back to no power period.

PLEASE help. This is my search and rescue truck, so I need it running.

1988 Bronco Drive Train & Driveline Malfunction

The truck had a speedometer gear(s) replaced at a transmission shop after the speedometer stopped working altogether. They had a lot of difficulty ordering the gears and when it was done the best they managed was a working speedo that reads very high. Ie. 75 at 50MPH. The truck runs poorly with bad data being fed into the computer. Is there a way to determine what the original gears/parts should be by VIN and order them? What we started with was not original either. Thanks!

1988 Bronco Engine Malfunction

Hello from B.C.Canada

My bronco has a rebuilt 351m with about 45, 000 kms. It runs fine until recently it started loosing rpms while idling at a stop in drive.The rpms drop erratically from 700 to 400 approx.It will stop if I put it in neutral or park.Also check engine light flashs in colder weather about 5 times pause and 5 more until it is warmed up.It does this some days and others it doesnt.
I have taken it to a shop that I deal with occasionally, they anaylized it for an hour while it was doing this the whole time and got no codes.
They cleaned the I.A.C. motor & passage and even ordered a new one to try it but it didnt stop the problem.

They said they dont know what it was and it could take hours or days to find it but I wasnt about to play that game at 75 an hour.

I recently changed the plugs, wires & fuel filter, and have tried different brands of fuel to see if it was bad gas still no luck.

I have had this problem now for about 2and a half months even though the truck runs excellent any other time. I have to drive 1100 kms in the next month and would like to solve this once and for all. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks.

Line from tank disconnected at inlet to black cannister, fuel flows with out power to system, and fuel flows at same rate with power to system. Before I pull tank and change tank pump. any further ideas?

My rear electric window is stuck in the down position. Previously to this it was stuck in the up position. I sprayed silicon on the large gears in the center and managed to get it to go down. Now I hear no motor noise and the window does not go up. The fuse seems fine. Where is the switch mechinism located on this model (what has to be depressed to allow current to the electric motor---trip switch????)......sometimes I had to apply pressure to left corner to get window to engage...please help.

1990 Bronco Windows & Glass Malfunction

1990 Ford Bronco rear window does not go down by using Tailgate Key Switch; window operates normally from the dash mounted switch. I have replaced Tailgate Wiring Harness (second time *) and electrically jumped (bypassed) the Tailgate Latch Switch. The down operation fails with both the key and by physically pressing with the finger, the normal audible click is heard when the switch is depressed. (* The first time I replaced the harness was 2 weeks ago, the window operated for a short time in both directions).

1990 Bronco Windows & Glass Malfunction

Dear,

I purchased my Ford Bronco XLT 5.0 V8 last night. My husband is furious. The rear tailgate window is now stuck in the down position, as is the passenger side window. There is a humming sounds in the tailgate; the motor WANTS to move...but nothing. The passenger side window...nothing happens at all. I purchased a Chilton's manual, but it tells nothing about how to get the door panels off so I can check the window lift motors. Help...yes, I'm a woman.

1993 Bronco General Making Noise

Hello,
I have been puzzled by my 1993 Bronco 302 E4OD pinging problem. This vehicle has been well maintained and has 125, 000 miles with no unusual engine noises at idle or acceleration with no load and lots of new components EGR valve, EVP sensor, 2-EGR Solenoids, EGO sensor, Idle Air By-Pass valve, all tune up parts, complete performance exhaust system from heads back, new transmission K & N filter, timing is on, doesn't use oil.I have tried various gasolines grades from top name companies, I use 93 octane Sunoco.

Problem:
When I apply light throttle acceleration I can hear a slight pinging, and under medium to hard acceleration it gets worse and sounds the worst when the transmission shifts into each gear, and also there is a very noticeable loss in power when climbing slight and steep grades.

I have had several dealers check the vehicle and it has no codes and knowbody can figure this out.

I have been thinking crankshaft dampener moving or timing chain worn, but maybe it could be Fuel Pressure Regulator, TP sensor, MAP sensor, Air charge sensor........I'm stumped!
Any advise would be helpful at this point...can you help?

Sincerely,

Kevin Hoffman

1992 Bronco Engine Malfunction

Hey guys- really appreciate your time. I do the same on insurance stuff, spread the knowledge! 92 motor in an 87 frame, EFI, Eddie Bauer edition. Trying to trouble shoot a reving problem. For one- Idle keeps going up & down on it's own, not much but enough to say something isn't right. Replaced the throttle position sensor (you go girl!). Worked ok for a month. Now, when the engine gets warm, it goes to a very high rev state at idle- like 2500. And it's still not maintaining a steady idle, grr. Replaced the EGR & coil. 92 motor in an 87 frame, one step down from the biggest motor in it, 4wd w/lockouts. Think maybe the throttle sensor is cracked and/or not properly positioned? Or anything else you can suggest that would cause a slight up down in rev to not carry a steady idle. Oil pressure also likes to run on the low side, will check the oil pump pickup screen. It also has a transmission kickback thing- if you let up off the accelerator at 40mph -60 mph or so, the engine/trans sort of kicks back, like it goes down a gear in the trans before it really needs to. Hard to explain. Appreciate any advise pertaining to similiar bronco issues
And thanks again for your time. :) Denise

1992 Bronco Drive Train & Driveline Slipping

only when shifting into reverse, there is noticable delay between the shift lever being moved, and the truck dropping into gear. Could be considered "slamming" into gear, as the truck jumps pretty hard going into gear. Somewhat better when warm/hot, only to reappear when cold. No problem in any of the forward gears, only reverse. 351 FI with 3 speed w/ electronic OD tranny. Ideas?

1994 Bronco Drive Train & Driveline Lagging

i recently bought a 1994 ford bronco with the 5.8 351. it has 123000 miles on it, when i accellerate there is a clonk right when you accelerate. thought it was the rearend but what i found was the pinion shaft gears were very worn and the pinion shaft was sloppy so i replaced both but the problem is still there. also when i stop it feels like the rearend is moving back into position and then when i accel. it feels like its moving back to the other position with a clonk again. also when driving down the road at 70 if you let off the gas real fast and then hit the gas again theres a clonk right between the front seats. so checked the motor and trans. mounts none are loose. don't know what to look at next???????

2003 Bronco Fuel System Won't Start

Last week my 1990 Bronco with a 5.8L would not start right up. It eventually did start after about 1 minute of pumping the gas. It ran ok the rest of the day and started the rest of the week allthough it seemed to take a little longer. Today it will not start at all and I do not hear the fuel pump run when I turn the key on. What is the most likely cause? The pump itself or a fuse, relay?
Thanks
Mike
