I have a 1989 Bronco with a 1997 4.0 litre engine.
When I start the engine it idles well for a few seconds and then idles very rough or stalls out. when I step on the accelerator the engine will not rev high..it revy up a bit to about 3-4 000 rpm and then max's out. That is with foot to floor. I have replaced the 02 sensor. I am thinking a fuel problem? I was just driving down the road and all was fine and then all of a sudden she would hardly accelerate.

The 89' bronco has a EEC-IV computer system in it + the 97' uses a OBD-II computer system to power it.
I'd say this is the conflicting problem.
Try pulling the computer codes + see what kind of readings you end up with.
It has been running fine since the engine was put in 2 years ago. I would asume that they switched the computer as well otherwise it probably wouldn't be running fine til now.
How's your fuel pressure? Fuel filter? Fuel pump? sometimes the most simple approach is the best, I'd try those angles before I tried to trouble shoot a swaped engine setup.
I checked the fuel pressure and it is 40 psi which is the proper pressure. I pulled the trouble codes and they are
22 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor
45 Secondary Air Upstream
66 Mass Air Flow Sensor.
I may have caused the 66 as I unplugged the Mass Air Flow while the engine was running.
I replaced the MAP Sensor. It will idle better now but still will not rev high when stepping on it. What is very odd it that when you first start it, it runs fine and revs perfect for the first 5 seconds and then goes bad from there.
