- 88 bronco ii
I have a 88 BII with the 2.9, 5 speed and manual hubs. When I got it in February it seemed to run good except for an occasional tick and a spot it would run rough half way warmed up. It seemed to run good cold, and when completely warm but not in between. It had just been tuned up so I looked for vacuum leaks and checked plugs, wires, cap and rotor, and even changed the fuel filter twice. It just seems to be getting worse and am now at a loss. Could the coil, control module, or even the distributor be the cause? it runs terrible until about 2500-3000 rpm then cleans up and runs good.? Any ideas The other thing with this weird intermittent lifter ticking. It can be one or sometimes multiple lifters ticking, and then it goes away for a few seconds to a few minutes and then it starts again. (Wishing for a simple answer) LOL Maybe just need a 4.0 transplant to save the day. Any help would be great thanks
