having problems with my 1989 Bronco II

[kgary2008]

Need everones help with this. My Bronco II broke down this past weekend. I was sitting at a light and when i took off from the light the when hit 25mph the engine started racing and then died. When i tried to restart it nothing happened other that the starter kind of rolling. the engine would not turn over. can any one give me some insight on what happened and what i'll need to do to fix it. Thanks

what have you looked at to try to get it started? have you checked battery and terminals to make sure there isnt anything loose or corroded? any loose electrical connections at coil, distributor, or alternator?

Had a similar problem recently and found it to be the ignition coil and eventually low fuel pressure because of a bad fuel pump. Try using a fuel gauge and seeing what the pressure is when off and if you can get it started when idle.

if all above look ok

fuel pressure can be check on fuel rail no need to turn

try to turn engine by hand if it turn ok in not may have engine seizing up

see if easy to turn too easy

try to turn direct and starter on good battery and set of booster cable

PS... make sure truck in park hand brake on

that way u know if elect or mechanical promg
