Still have the problem. No codes.
Any ideas?? EGR need cleaning too???
Anyway......Bronco is back on the road!!
Probably wouldn't hurt to check the EGR, although I don't know much about them. I don't have the experience and joys of dealing with one.

I'd also pop off the distributor cap and check the contacts and rotor. If they are worn out either clean em or replace em. Then maybe get a timing light and make sure the timing is still good?

Did you test the TPS at all or no?

No.....didn't test the TPS due to it having bare wires.
I'll test the EGR tomorrow at the shop. Just has an annoying miss hesitation just off idle while cruising or sitting.

I replaced an old clamp on the lower steering pump hose to stop a leak. Also stopped a pan leak on the trans drain. Replaced the bushings on the passenger side front wheel shocks... Boy that was fun...

Installed 6 new Bilstein 4600 shocks tonight after work. It still had the original shocks on it!
Last week I got the windows tinted. I'll have to get it cleaned up and take some pictures.

Finally got around to replacing the blown radiator with a heavy duty unit.

Spent the last two days putting a factory transmission crossmember in the frame and putting the radius arm mounts on the drop brackets with new hardware and putting them back in.

new stereo and fuel filter in the 95 bronco. Oil change done on the 95 and 91 bronco.


Picked up a 4bbl intake for a 351W for free along with a C6 transmission with T-case plus some extra 351 parts all for free going to use a lot of it for my project 83 bronco.

I spent 3 hours today stripping parts off my parts Bronco. I got the dash wiring harness out, the dash out, all the heater ducting and heater box (since it's a non A/C rig), NP 205 torque mount off the frame, steering gearbox, rear half of the wiring, rear interior panel supports, and the rear arm rests. Still need to pull the core support, tailgate hardware (tailgate is shot and the internals were already gone), rear step bumper, and firewall. I may also pull some roof and floor metal for future patches on my Bronco. I know that I don't need all the parts I'm pulling, so once my Bronco is done I'll be selling what I don't need.

Went back to the donor and pulled the tailgate hinges, tail gate strikers from the body, rear floor body bolt covers, and some donor sheet metal pieces cut off. Too bad the last guy already had stripped the tailgate guts...

Cleaned the carbon off the EGR pintle. (Very nasty!) Going to eventually pull the intake and give it a good cleaning. Cleaning the EGR took care of my off idle miss and hesitation!
Got a new fan clutch. Driving it the other day and noticed the temp was gradually increasing while sitting. (More than I liked) Flushed the radiator the other day also. I topped off the coolant when I got it going.....I guess all that nasty corrosion from sitting all that time broke loose once I started driving it.

Off to get another belt!

New serpentine belt on. Re-checked some of the vacuum lines I replaced. Found the lines going to the vacuum canister were reversed! Running pretty good! Curious why it wasn't setting any codes.
Hopefully, I can get the windows tinted next weekend.
Still have to order the seat covers from Marathon. Too expensive to redo the leather! Going to do the Kryptek Typhon pattern. Trying to find headliner material in that same pattern. (I think it will look good.)
