so my 87 bronco after being put on the road 3 days ago just died i was idling at an intersection when it just quit and wouldnt start. it has no spark at the coil. i have already replaced the coil. and the tfi is my next bet since i have one sitting around. anything else i should be looking at replacing? it needs to be moved by tomorrow since im parked in a parking lot. also what size are the bolts on the tfi? i know that there 5.5mm but this one is the security torx
 
ok i just bought a whole set of security torx that worked got the tfi off and it was toast thats the 3rd one and i have only put maybe 500kms on it time for a relocation kit....
 
Here 'ya go again, "throwing money at it" !!!
yeah man, been there. I'm on my second one.
Sorry, I can relate. But that is an excellent quote ! Here's some good info on the subject
though I have yet to do it:

this site has a TON of good info by good people...
As I'm sure we all realize and do appreciate.
Still sortin' out other things on my 'ol 84, before I relocate. Just sent for
a new sending unit, (been runnin' via odomoter) today.
Vowed I wouldn't go through another winter without a GAS GAUGE!
Just did valve cover gaskets.
Have only had it a year and a half or so....

Can't think of a thing I'd wanna trade for it though
o.k., maybe a 1st generation Bronc !!!!
glad you got it runnin'.
How much snow do you have up there?
- nonstuck
 
wow lots going on in that post lol. thanks for the reply i already had printed off that relocation info this morning and actually just got back from the junkyard with a heatsink from an aerostar and some extra wiring. right now there is no snow but about a week ago we had a ton of it. it was snowing for about 5 days.
i have had it for about a year and a half but it hasnt been insured since i had lots of work to do.
the engine leaks like a siv still so i will swap motors eventually. too bad since it only has 97000 kilometers on it. i did my valve covers too. just did my oxygen sensor had to replace the exhaust i replaced the lift gate since mine was smashed in. im now looking for a grill and an extra tfi just incase this one breaks too. just need to find a grill for my bronco so it doesn't look abandoned
