I might add it could read 40 psi at idle and you think all is fine. But it can drop off when you stoump it while driving. Mine did. It felt like it was running out of gas, missing and coughing. New fuel pump cured it.

Check to see what the pressure is at the fuel rail, most auto stores have a gauge you can rent/borrow. Also you may have a fuel pressure regulator issue.

You should really post your question in the Bronco II Forum, where you can get responses from people who have a Bronco II.

You have posted in the BIG Bronco Forum, where we don't have a 2.9 anything
