Bronco Hesitation
My 1989 Ford Bronco (in-line six, 4.9L, manual transmission 4wd) is
being a pain, and I wondering if you have any idea what this could be? For a long time it has had trouble when it is warm and I shut it off for a few minutes, then come out and start it again. I would restart it and the ammeter periodically dropped and the engine would hesitate. Then the fourth or fifth time it did that, it would stall, each time I would start it. Recently it has started to stall sooner and now it stalls repeatedly and immediately when I restart it. Tonight to drive I had to wait until I was ready to pull away before starting it, because it would not idle for even a few seconds. Once I start driving or rev the engine (although I hate to do that), it is fine. I will stop at a light or whatever, and it idles just fine then. Now, also, it is much harder to keep it running when it is cold. Hitting the brakes and turning the wheel especially, in the first minute or two causes it to die. Lastly, when I am driving and come to a stop, then accelerate, if I get on the gas too hard, it hesitates. I can keep it from acting like it is going to die at those times by accelerating very gently. So that is what all it is doing. What do you think? Please email me directly > if you know the answer to this puzzle. Thanks. |
