Hello,
So I’ve got a 1987 Eddie Bauer Bronco ii with a 88” 2.9l engine and swapped a manual transmission into it with the 4:10 gear ratio on there. I’m having issues bogging down a little bit every time I hit 3,000 rpm. I’ve been hesitant to take it on the highway since last time I lost all power.
Figured out it was something to do with my wiring coming loose on the control board. Since then I’ve replaced the air filter which I found a hole on the housing and threw some jb weld on to fix. Also replaced the Throttle position sensor and the fuel pump wasn’t done to long ago. As well I replaced the water pump. I’ve seen two leaks I know these are notorious for having and that’s the gaskets for the valve covers and the timing cover. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it.
Looking forward to getting this old girl up and running 100% and hopefully off road ready soon. Thanks for any feedback!
