I have a question, not critical ATM not driving the Bronco II, waiting to upgrade to a 3G alt. Anyway, when I first start the vehicle:
1. It does not stay running on the first try, about the 3rd time I start it, it will stay running at idle.
2. Once I get it running it sounds like it is sucking a lot of air into the intake, almost like hearing a vacuum cleaner draw air in. Has an aftermarket air intake. Just sounds odd, because I am not used to the air sucking sound on an engine, not to this extreme anyway.
3. If you get the vehicle under a load it wants to stall out, does not matter if it is hot or cold, once you get up to speed it seems ok, but if you stomp on the throttle it wants to stall and it does backfire at times.
86 Bronco II, 2.9l, 5 Speed manual.
I have checked and cleaned a few items, throttle body, MAP, TPS to name a few. I have not however, pulled codes or checked the timing. Plan to dig into this issue down the road, but just curious if anyone has had an issue with too much air into the system.
