Thumbs up Possible fix for anyone w/ stalling problems...

Hey all. I've got an '88 Bronco II, an '89 Bronco, and a '93 Explorer. I search these forums for suggestions quite a bit, so I thought I'd share a solution (found thru no genius of mine) to a problem I've been having with the BII (2.9L). The symptoms started that when the truck was cold, I couldn't keep it running. It would start right up, but it would stall almost immediately if I didn't keep my foot on the gas. If I could keep it running long enough to get out of the driveway, it would even out after a few minutes driving. Recently though, it wouldn't stay running no matter how much gas I gave it or driving I did. I pulled the codes, and got something about an intermitten spark signal (sorry, can't remember the number). I decided the most likely problem was the ignition module. I pulled it, had it tested, and it was bad. I was very happy. I put the new one on, started it up, AND IT DIED! I was very mad. I was starting to suspect low fuel pressure, but I don't have a guage to check. I cleaned the injectors and ran some SeaFoam through the manifold... lots of smoke, but no better. I have a friend who, every time something goes wrong with one of these truck, says "could it be the MAP sensor?" And I say no. She apparently thinks this is hilarious. But I was at a loss and had a spare in the parts box. Guess what? The truck's running better now than when I bought it... and someone's laughing her butt off at me! Anyway, I don't know how common it is for both of these to go at the same time. But if you're having this problem, maybe it's something to consider. Hope this helps someone! (and sorry it turned out so long...)
