Well its been awhile since I had a bronco I figured eh why not. I sold one of my full sized ford pick ups and ran across this lil gem of mine. The last Bronco was a '84 I believe and so loved it. I absolutely love the turning radius that these like fords have...
This one that I have now seems to have a bit of a strange problem tho. It seems to run rough all the time I take it off road on the logging roads and in construction sites. I put a new air filter on it and also a new fuel filter. Both were so clogged and dirty it was gross. The guy I had bought it from told me that it had a tune up..?? now what kind a person does a tune up and not replace the filters?? After replacing the filters it ran nice on the street but still ran rough off road..?? I even put some wynns engine restore, injector cleaner and on top of that some gas line antifreeze thinking that it may have water in the tank. Filled it up as in the directions and ran it like that. But its still running rough off road. Runs nice on the street though. Hell I even took the O2 sensor off thinking that may fix the rough idle. Never did though.
Any ideas? Its a '87 model with the 2.9 5 spd tranny 4X4 of course. My next idea is going to be to change the plugs. Maybe its got crappy champions in it. Never did have much luck with champions. Any ways some ideas would be a great help.
Now onto something all together totally different Q for all of you. What is a TTB front suspension? Ive heard of IFS thats what my full size has. Ive even heard of a straight axle. But what the heck is a TTB???
Anyways thats enough typing for a bit
Thanx A.W.
