Yesterday I went to the bank, came back out and got a crank no start several times. Let it set for a few minutes and it started right up. Did the same thing to me again this morning, except this time I had to let it sit longer before it started. So once I got it started I took it down to one of the local repair shops and parked it. Hopefully they get to it tomorrow and find out for sure what's going on. I'm waiting on the o-ring and filter to show up and I told the mechanic about that leak, both of us are hoping its just sucking air because of the fuel leak. I haven't noticed fuel on the ground but you can smell it pretty strong. Fuel pump is fine, you can hear it when you turn the key. I'm really hoping its from the fuel leak at the reservoir.

Got the bronco 2 down to the shop, they ended up replacing the filter and o-ring on the fuel reservoir, they were still having starting issues after that repair and they found that the fuel pump was intermittent. They replaced the fuel pump relay and fuel pump, now all is well again. Its going to a friend's shop tomorrow to have the passenger side window fixed so it stops sliding down.
