Need your help folks... 86 Bronco II 2.9v6 E.F.I automatic - 94,000 miles. I have had this vehicle since 2013 so I know it pretty well now. Problem I am having is this - once the motor reaches a warm temp ( lets say by the temp gauge needle approaches the O in normal ) the motor begins to surge and stall as if it is not getting fuel or air. This happens quite quickly on Hot /Humid days but still behaves the same in colder climates. Once it begins this phase it will quit and will not start again until it sits for 10 - 15 minutes. After it starts again I can take off and drive on just fine unless I hit stop and go traffic or lights. Once I hit stop and go traffic or lights it will repeat this and quit again. I have talked to several Mechanics / gear heads young and old and those whom have given suggestions I checked/tested to no avail. I replaced the pickup(distributor) and even moved the ignition module off of the distributor and over to the firewall. I replaced the fuel pump relay, idle control, map sensor, both fuel pumps ( yes with remanufactured pumps but note it was doing this before I replaced them), fuel filter, removed the cat, checked fuel pressure it is in spec. , replaced coil on fender by the battery, checked the Inertia switch. I am really at a loss on this. One notable fact it appears that it no longer has the Pep or power that it once did.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated-
