I have an 89 Bronco II with 2.9 5 speed 4x4. Lately I have been having problems with the throttle. Sometimes it runs fine but most of the time it won't rev up when in first or second gear past about 1500 rpms, and it just bounces like i'm slipping the clutch. When taking off it feels like I'm running out of gas and will not smoothly rev up. When I start it up it usually runs fine until I let it idle for a little while(such as at a long stop light)then the idle drops to about 4-500 rpms instead of the 800-1000 rpms. Once I get it up to speed it runs okay but there still feels like there some resistance with the throttle. I've tried changing a chunk of the fuel line and the fuel filter as I first thought there was something blocking the line. The fuel pump is fairly new and I checked it and it is working fine. Someone told me I just needed a tuneup so I changed the plugs and wires as well. The next step I was planning on changing the distributor cap and rotor as well as cleaning the injectors, but I wanted to get some feedback to see if anyone else has had this problem. I have had the B2 for almost 4 years and really don't want to get rid of it.
