1984 Ford Bronco - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

You gotta PEEL back the material right there at the "Hinge" point. It isn't easy but when you get it peeled back you can get to the mounting bolt that holds the arm in place.

Pull the armrest vertically up. There is a slot in the armrest and a pin on the frame. You have to match these to pull the armrest off. Without a zipper it's a little more challenging. Some armrest have a little screw that keeps the armrest on the frame. The older models usually worked with the slot and pin.

If the old gas is bad you should remove the tank, dump the gas, and clean the inside of the tank. You may have to siphon the gas to get to the point where you can manage the tank to remove it.

sounds like a transmission mount or engine mount problem

'84 has a mechanical fuel pump on the engine. It's bolted on the front through the timing cover.

Release arm

many things can cause this. the most common problem would be that the timing is slightly off. (fixed sometimes by adjusting the distributor) it could also be a bad fuel pump (or clogged fuel filter) this would allow enough fuel to run the engine in park but not enough to run the engine under stress. clogged air filter could also cause this (not allowing enough air into the cylinders). I would change the air filter and fuel filter. then crank the vehicle and slowly turn the distributor (finding the best idle position) then see what happens. lastly replace the fuel pump.

Pressure test the exhaust to check for a clogged Catalyst.

Does it not idle even after the engine warms up ?That sounds like a vac leak, or not enough gas coming thru the idle circuit of the carb.

This happened to me my engine was cracking i was getting gas but not spark.....i spent alot of money trouble shooting an it was only the rotor....that's crazy huh....

Hi there,This is a classic condition of a 'slipping' transmission.The problem could be anything from bad fluid, poor fluid pressure, faulty pressure valves, faulty solenoids, loose bands or even internal mechanical failure.First step would be to flush your transmission and refill with new fluid and replace the transmission's internal oil filter.If problem persists, then a transmission overhaul or 2nd hand replacement could be in order.

You have a external fuel pump even if you have 2 fuel tank you are equipt with one pump. Its location is underneath the driver side along the frame

you need to check that the motor isn't seized ......cheers

It sound like you have a bad starter. When it is hot, it is drawing more amps than the battery can supply. You may also need to test the positive cable to the starter from the battery. To do this, you need a multimeter. Check the voltage between the positive and negative cable at the battery and note your readings. Then measure the voltage at the starter between where the cable connects and the case of the starter. Compare the two reading. If you have more than .5 volts difference, then the positive cable has too much resistance and needs replacing. Check for corrosion and make sure the cable is tight as well. I am betting on a starter though.

Good luck. Hope this helps!

If you are talking about the rotor in the distributer then you have to remove the distributor enough to rotate it. if it is out of time the best way to do this is go to this link

go to the bottom of page and follow distributer replacement.

yes

No - your belt cannot be replaced without taking the fan off. More than likely, you also have multiple belts. You will have a 1/2 inch spot on most of the plates to tighten each individual component. Look for a place to attach a 1/2 inch breaker bar/ratchet next to the alternator, steering pump, smug pump, etc. These should all be v-belts on a 1984, not a true serpentine.

Check your fusible links. There will be one main one at the starter relay. You'll find it bolted to the fender nearest your battery (passenger side). One link controls the majority of the power in the bronco. A word of caution though... If you replace it and your new link blows again, you have a short somewhere that you'll have to track down.

Hi. Usually, when the light will work but not blink the problem is that the flasher is bad. Replace the flasher and you should be fine. It is located under the dash, usually to the right of the steering column. It is about a seven dollar item at any auto parts store. J.
