It could have a weak or failing ignition coil. The other thing I can think to look for would be an exhaust restriction.. (clogged catalytic converter)

What about the fuel filter?? was it replaced?

SOURCE: 1989 Bronco II have replaced fuel

Is it the 2.8? I am just thinking of what cycles and would cause the engine to run bad. The fuel relay would not be the problem. Because if it doesn't close, then the engine does not run at all. The power distribution box is a possibility. But I am thinking about what you are saying the problem cycles. That is the strange thing. I think that the cycling has to do with pressure in the fuel tank. Have you tried changing the gas cap? That could be all that the problem is. But it could also be the vent in the fuel tank. The reason why I am thinking this is because the fuel tank builds pressure from the gas sloshing around and when it builds up too much pressure then it relieves. What do you think?

Ford 460 - no spark

Since the distributor is in the front on the 460 and you replaced the water pump check the connection plug coming from the distributor. If you disconnected it when removing the water pump you may not have made the connection tight enough to complete the connection. Look for pinched wires also. And your engine does not have points. You have a breakerless ignition system in the distributor. The air gap should be set at 8 thousands of an inch. Check the gap. Good luck.

89 f150 wont fire

i suspect a fuel pump malfunction. i would check there first. make sure the fuel **** fuse is good and well. check the lines for blockages. after you run the fuel pump/fuse/line test, go to the distributor/coil and test the spark value. i would also check wires as well. your problem should be in one of these specific areas.

Weak spark + 1988 ford bronco

check the voltage of the b+ terminal of the ignition coil (primary side) with a cheap multimeter while cranking. low voltage to the primary will cause low voltage on the secondary. also recheck all ground paths from the ignition module. ensure good connection from coil to module. note: new parts are not "known good parts" until it runs.--> IG.MOD.
