i bought a crashed 86 bronco2 now i have 5 this one is hit hard in the pass door. how can it be this cream puff truck drove to the acident took a hit in the pass door and rocker hard and now has no spark ? It did start for a second the first time i hit the key.it purred no ticks knocks or smoke .
The crash does not apear to have damaged any of the wiring that i can see without removing a seat. I pulled the distributor cap and spun the engine over to check shear pin in the distributor shaft seems solid turns well. Has no spark but has power to the coil so im stuck on this truck and another 86 i put a engine in last year to make a daily driver 2 different trucks now.
The other daily driver i have did something like that to me also . It was great runner for a couple hundreed miles then one day it took 3 atempts to start it. Very unusual but i went to store anyway and it restarted their fine. Drove home fine but next day it was no start and no spark . I tried computer and i tried a coilstill no spark could both trucks have the same issue ?
i am a retired old school mechanic new to this computer and the automotive computers with all the new gadgets and fuel injection.
thanks for any help or ideas on either truck .thank god the wheeler still runs lol
