1987 Bronco II 2.9 Engine. Had it for 10 years with the same problem the whole time. Runs fine while the weather is warm and dry. Once the humidity or temp changes, or the rain starts, it loses power, bogs down while on the freeway. I have to feather the pedal constantly just to maintain a steady rate of speed. I've had it in the shop twice. They can't seem to figure it out. I've replace both fuel pumps, the fuel filter, and the fuel tank. Need help please before I do something expensive.

Have you changed the distributor cap? A crack in the cap will cause moisture to gather and cause spark issues. Give the cap a very thorough inspection and also your wires. You may have poorly insulated boots on the wires and the spark will ground out. I had this issue and I looked at the engine at night in the pitch black. I found a plug wire arcing to the distributor base because of a bad plug wire. The truck lost power when the weather was moist. I hope this helps.

Does my 1987 ford bronco 2 auto,4x4 have a timing

Belt, remove the the front plastic cover which covers the Timing Belt to see if the belt is stripped of teeth, same as the old Ford Pinto motor.. remove dist cap and watch rotor rotation, see if it is spinning... Ignition Modules are a major issue with those in that year also... check module also...
