1986 bronco II

I have an 1986 ford bronco II and when I was driving home yesterday ... the rpms went down to 0 back up and then back to 0 and stalled.

We took off the pcv valve cleaned it and then the truck started. We waited for about an hour and tried it again and it started... but when we put it in gear to move it, it stalled again.

We tried starting it up again and it wouldn't start but here is the funny thing... We took the key out and it kept trying to start on its own until it drained down the battery. We have since recharged the battery but it is still trying to start on its own!

I don't know where to go from here any thoughts ? thanks for your help

Welcome to FTE!!

Pull the little wire off the starter solenoid and see if it's stops cranking. If it does I would check out the ignition switch, if it doesn't stop cranking then check out the starter solenoid.

For the no-start pull the codes, test the fuel pressure and check for spark.
