Check the tan- lt green wire on the fuel relay that is located on the right fender, mine wasn't pushed in all the way, this wire shut down injectors and fuel pump, if you are looking for the shut off switch to reset the relay, it is on the passagers side floor board under the dash, gas two wires, orange and pink, I don't remember the color of the stripes, I removed this switch and wired them together without a problem

Bronco II 1987 v6 2.9-well manufacture date is 10\87 but that means parts are 88' right?

Look at your registration, note "model year" If you ar still unsure, call a Ford dealer and ask them to look up your vin #. They will know for sure.

88 bronco. runs fine untill it warms up then loses most power

Sound like an ignition issue.The hotter temps are causing a part to fail.If you've never replaced the ignition coil,this is the easiest place to start.Another possibilty would be the pickup in the distributor,or the reluctor on the distributor shaft.

I am getting very confused. On my 88 Bronco II i have replaced a number of things ie; computer, MAP sensor, both fuel pumps, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, all 6 injectors, cap , rotor, plugs ,...

does it sound like it cranks funny if so r u sure that it hasn't jumped time maybe not but if u have to spray starting fluid in it t get it to run then then either the injectors aren't opening (obviously ) lol

when u put the distributor in r u sure u have it in time and if u r sure u did then have u got someone to crank it while u turn the distributor a little from left to right and see if it will start

also check all ur grounds under the hood and make sure they r all intact especially the grounds going to the neg battery terminal

1988 bronco II 60,000 miles .. guy replaced the exhaust manifold and removed altenator without unhooking battery and put back together and wouldnt start ...fuel pump not pumping ..i tried bypass wire got...

Well if he caused a short in the electrical system it could be the eec relay it is located on the passenger side under the hood on the fenderwell. Some are marked with what they do there can be 3-4 relays on it, the relays look like a small box with a connector at the bottom, and quite a few wires coming out. the one for the eec relay should be in the middle it was on my fathers 88 bronco 2. the fuel pump relay is the same thing, there cheap to buy and can find them at the parts store they are known for failure, just replace it..

I have a 1990 Ford Bronco II that will crank, but will not start. It was running fine yesterday, but today will not start.

spray starting fluid in the intake. if it starts it's fuel problem, if it does not it's electrical. could be bad fuel pump or crank sensor

89 bronco II stars then dies

if the fuel pump cutoff was tripped it would not start at all, I know this for sure, I am a Ford dealer tech and I specialize in no starts and check eng lights. If the ignition switch is bad the 2 halves of the switch will be starting to come apart, it is very common, u should be able to either see it or feel it with your hand.
