need help
I recently bought a '86 Bronco for $500. I wanted start a Budget build-up. It seems to me that the torque converter is shot. the motor is able to rev up in Park but when you put it in gear it will stall when u give it gas. What else would cause this? I just want to run the bronco before spending any $ to repair all the rust! Please help make my Bronco run.
By the way, I can "force" it to run by reving it and dropping it in gear.
Thanks!!

Maybe all it needs is a Modulator Valve ?

Is it stalling out as soon as you put in gear or only when you give it gas and its in gear?? If it is the first one then you may have an intake leak. it may be at the abase of the carb or at where the egr plate mates to the intake or maybe but least likely where the intake mounts to the block. A trick to find out if it is an intake/vacuum leak is to: make sure all the vacuum lines are routed properly and/or caped/plugged. start hte engine and let it idle. squirt short bursts of starting fluid at various places at the before mentioned places, if you have a leak, you will hear the rpms climb momentarily. Be careful not to spray directly into carb.(false testing)
hopefully I am some assistance to you. If not I am sorry and good luck!

By the way, I have a 302 EFI. It has over 122,000 mi. and was not maintain well. It will run and drive for a little while when cold, but whenever it warms up it will start stalling in gear, as soon as you give it gas.
thanks!
thanks!

There was a thread about this a while ago, the consensus was that either filling up a low tranny fluid level, or changing the tranny fluid was fixing it. I haven't had the problem though (knock on wood).
