Having a little issue getting my Bronco to start. It's an '88 auto with a 302. I was messing around back behind the walmart in James Island (Charleston) climbing some hills. As I attempted to climb a hill the truck would shut itself off, but I was always able to crank it right back over. Well I went for a bigger hill and it did the same thing, this time it would crank. So we towed it to the walmart to investigate.
We checked and it has spark and it has fuel, but still will not crank over. So we grabbed some brake cleaner to see if we could get it to crank over on that to prove that the fuel is not getting into the cylinder. It would almost crank over. So at this point I'm not really sure what else to look at. The fuel pump sounds like it's engaging.
Is anyone in the Charleston area off tomorrow that might be able to give me a hand before walmart decides to tow my truck away? I'll provide lunch, beer, gas money whatever. I just want to get this thing back home.
Thanks a bunch,
John
