This swap started awhile ago 3 yrs in fact then the guy lost interest and I picked it up in March. It's an 87 Bronco ll with a 93 or 94 4.0 from an Explorer. I have the truck running now but it's not quite where I would like it to be. I have 3 issues that I need help sorting out. 1) no codes from computer but I did get them once but haven't been able to do for a couple weeks even with a Snap-on scanner or a Ohm meter which worked before Battery has not been disconnected for a couple weeks 2) starts great cold but drive to store and let it sit for a few then starts real hard almost like it's flooded. When it does start idles really high then drops off almost to dying. Idle stays up for 2-3 minutes but then goes back to normal. No gas in vac line from FPR changed ETC changed fuel filter.3) Temp seems real low on guage like L in normaL changed temp sender and put some cardboard in front of rad and temp guage went to M in norMal. Dropped back to L when cardboard removed and stays there. Seems like thermostat is working judging by flow in rad but I know that can be misleading.
I know it must be throwing some codes just by the way it runs but don't get anything from connector.It's got good vac 18 in steady and compression is 155-160 all the way around.
Please share your thoughts, suggestions, and input. Not real sharp electronics wise but when pointed in a direction with what to look for and how to do it I usually am able to get the answers requested.
Thanks again for looking at this and sharing.
