Bronco No start!?
I went muddin last friday, had a little stall where mud or something messed up the engine, took forever to start but got cleared out and ran fine. I drove it a few other times on normal road (it started fine then). Then i drove it around side of my house, hosed under carraige off. I opened the hood covered up air intake to make sure nothing got in there, and hosed the mud covered engine off. 1hr later it didn't start...so i let it dry.... didn't start. 5hrs later it started and i though everything was peachy. Then i took my stock eddie bauer steps off to make room for the new tube ones. I tried to start the truck.... and it didn't start and still wont, and it hasn't rained or anything. My truck shakes when it tries to start and sometimes makes maybe 1 or 2 lit cylinders and goes puff then stops.
Please help!

I had a similar problem with one of my other F150's. This may be it for your sake I hope it is. Try taking the distributor cap off and wiping the whole thing out really well with paper towels. Also wipe out the distributor. Small bits of condensation form on the inside and it can be hard to diagnose. When you re-install it put a small bead of die-electric grease around the cap where it meets the distributor, this will help keep future water out. This is what we used at the shop on the boats and watercraft to keep everything ok electricly. Hope this helps. If not check the aircleaner assem. to make sure it isn't clogged and gettin' chocked out.
