Okay, so since I've been running the bronco, I'm having trouble getting it started after it's gotten hot and been ran for a while. It will turn over slowly (very slowly, like it's struggling), but not fire up. Once it sits for a while (not sure the exact amount of time, I know over night takes care of it) it will fire up right away.
Now, the bronco is currently cooling off in a parking lot while I mow the grass, but here's what I do know.
1. I know it's not the starter, thought that, but I just but a brand new remand in today, thinking that was the problem....it isn't.
2. I don't think it's anything inbetween the battery and the starter, I used jumper cables to go from the battery straight to the starter, same results (yes I did have the key in the on position).
3. I don't think it's the battery since a. it will start with no problem after it cools off and b. I nice lady tried to help me jump start it, and I got the same results.
Now, one guy who came by thought I might have the timing too advanced, which would explain why nothing else is showing problems, but I've been running this timing for 2 years now, and never had this problem before. The engine only has around 40k on it (remand Groom's engine).
Any thoughts, I'm going to mess with the timing when I get home, but any other thoughts would be helpful!
Thanks,
MoMo
