Have you ever changed the cps? (cam sensor) Very common problem with these trucks, and should only be bought from ford or IH.

1996 Bronco-F-Series Workshop Manual
Kevin, that is about as good of a manual as you will find.
Here is another one.
97-15A 7.3L DI Turbo Workshop Manual
Put my new gpr on yesterday and of course the mount is different. I just re-did that mount to put my boost fooler on it along with the gpr. My new relay now hits the boost fooler when mounted straight on the bracket. I got one bolt in it and just turned it at an angle for now, its tight, and will work for the last couple days I'll need it this winter, then I'll build a new mount.
Hooked it up and there was very little voltage drop between the big posts so I should be good to go. Find out today.

Hi, the 50 amp fuse was for the under dash fuse panel. Protects fuse#5 airbag restraint.#9 PowerPoint.& #13 stop/hazard, speed control, engine control, shift interlock. Was hoping that after replacing that blown fuse that my stalling problem would have been fixed..do you think the fuse might have blown as a result of a bad gpr or caps?? Thank you. Kevin.

First, welcome to FTE! Second, you probably need to start a new thread if you haven't already. You're likely to get better responses that way. The guys on here are very helpful. Just explain what you have, what it's doing, and what if anything you have done to attempt to fix it. If you've already started a thread, disregard. I may not have seen it yet.
