I have a 1987 Ford Bronco II that broke down up the mountain yesterday. I killed it on a steps incline and it would just click instead of starting so we tried jumping it but that didnt work so we pulled it over the crest of the hill and tried push starting it down a hill but still nothing.
Ended up at the end of the day today replaced the ignition control module because it failed autozones test but the coil passed. Still pretty sure I need a starter solenoid cause it just clicks from the key. I arced the solenoid to start it.
It ran rough and the muffler was glowing red with a hole in it then after it cooled down i kept going and now the cat was glowing so we unbolted the cat and that made it idle on its own and not die but any acceleration and its missing really bad. If i can get it to 4500 rpm it sounds fine and smooth but between 800 and there all it does is miss and shake with no power.
Please help, i think it might need plugs and wires but i wasnt sure if they would all go bad at the same time. Thank you in advance
