No start on '92 Bronco cured
I bought a '92 Bronco 302 that wasn't running. It had compression and fuel for sure. Checked the spark, and it was WEAK. Threw a new coil and ignition module on there as a stab in the dark. No go. I checked to see if the timing had jumped. It hadn't. I pulled the cap and rotor, and unscrewed the round plate (technical term 
) under the rotor. Then I did some research about the hall effect sensor/pickup coil, or whatever the heck it is. I found that the sensor can sometimes become magnetized, and that's not good. I picked up a small screw and got it close to the sensor. It was magnetized. I called around, and no one had the sensor/pickup, and you have to have some sort of special puller to pull the gear off of the distributor to disassemble it. I asked how much it was for a complete distributor. $85. I said SOLD! Put it in, changed the cap/rotor, and plugs. On the first crank, it fired up as perfect as it could. I guess I learned something new today!
