Ok, I'll try to keep it as short as I can , I pulled my 1989 bronco 2 into my garage about 2 weeks ago and when I put it in park the idle reved high, it done this a few weeks ago and I give the iac a light tap and it went back to normal and was fine until now , at that point I cut it off and when I went back to start it it didn't wanna start until I pressed the gas some and it fired, it idled high then died, I started it back and reved it and had a bad miss and upon letting off the throttle it died again. Pulled the codes and had a tps code so I decided to just order some parts , I ordered all this new , iac, tps, fuel pressure regulator , complete distributor, cap button and all with new tif, map sensor , plugs and wires, valve cover gaskets , new oil pressure sending unit, temp sending unit , temp sensor , alternator( mine was going out ) , new belt and I'm sure I'm missing something but it had been along time since replacing some of it and I wanted to get it all over with. When I got the parts I replaced the iac and tps first just because they were easy and I wanted to see if that was my issue , well it wouldn't start at all, since I had an oil leak around the distributor ( which is why I ordered a new distributor , that and for the new tif, I just went ahead and replaced all my parts , still no start. It would get to a point that it would almost start and even run on like 2 or 3 cylinders for about 10 seconds if I kept the gas pedal floored. So I moved the distributor a tooth forward , no change , a tooth back and one past that and nothing , out it back exactly where it was when I took it out and no change . Checked compression and it's good , worst cylinder was 125, best was 135 or so, fuel pressure is 39psi koeo, 38psi while cranking , good spark at the coil and good blue spark on all six wires and plugs , I've traced all the wiring and found nothing bad, it will not start on starting his either so I don't think it's a fuel issue . Today I checked the timing chain slack, and I have almost 9* of slack in the chain. Could that be my issue ? I am new to this forum so I hope I've posted this I'm the right place . Thanks and sorry for being so long winded.
