Having starting issues with my 89 Bronco II 2.9 L. Serviced the vehicle after purchase. Valve cover gaskets, plugs, plug wires. A couple of days after I serviced the truck I went out to start it and it fired briefly then quit. Would crank but not start. I gave it a try the next day and it started and ran fine? Drove to work today and when I got in the truck to come home I had the same issue, fired briefly then quit, cranks fine but will not start. I've noticed that when I started the vehicle in the past I could hear something clicking at the rear of the truck which I'm not hearing now, fuel pump? I checked the coil and plug wires for fire and I am getting a good spark.
In my Chilton manual it reads that the 89 2.9 with the electric fuel injection system, uses a fuel tank and fuel pump/sender assembly. Does this Bronco have an externally frame mounted fuel pump or is the pump mounted in the fuel tank? Could I have done something under the hood, changing the valve cover gaskets, that might be causing the problem like wiring? I don't think this is a timing chain issue due to the truck running fine after the 1st episode. What do ya think?
