1988 Bronco 2 stalling out.

Last tune up? Vacuum leaks? Fuel Filter? If you have never replaced the coil then suspect its original, same with ignition wires and the rest.
Good Luck.

I had 2 experiences like that. 72 ford pickup I was watching it try to run after I got home from work. It was dark and I could see sparks. I also noticed the coil was very hot. I changed to coil and all was well. I had a 94 sunbird it ran good at high speeds but I could not keep it running at a stop sign or stop light. I change the plug wires. I had not code. I suggest you check the code if you have a check engine/warning light. It can help narrow your search.
I don't even remember if the 72 had codes back then but I have learned to check them any time I have a check engine light.

replace the throttle position and this should work

You need to change your fuel filter. Its clogging up.

Sounds like a gear lockup, two choices take transmission out and find someone to rebuild it or would have to go to salvage yard and find another one. a new rebuild is approx 1,300.00 or salvage yard is approx 300.00..

Call the parts stores.

Call more than one to check prices.

Don't let them try to rip you off.

Unfortunately there are several things that can be causing this issue. Try replacing your map sensor. They are relatively cheap and easily installed.

The exhaust gas oxygen sensor is located on the manifold near the front of the engine, on the right hand side. It has a cable assembly attached to it.

It is an analog sensor.

I would suspect a bad fuel pump and plugged fuel filter for something sitting that long without use, but that doesn't explain the high fuel use. Check the fuel pressure at the test port in the fuel rail above the injectors, it should be about 40 to 50 PSI. If it is much higher, suspect the pressure regulator. Is the check engine light on? If so, rent a scanner, read the code(s), and follow the clues to repairs. If the alternator were going bad, you'd be losing battery charge. If something is bad with the ignition, the code reader should pick it up.
