3. Now that I have gas in my shocks and the bronco can move under its own power, I went to crank it and pull it out of the garage to check the antisquat/rise problems. The motor ran, but not well. It would hold a very rough idle and cut off when I tried to give it any throttle. It ran well before, so I knew it had to be something simple. It threw a code, but the light went off. Instead of counting flashes on the OBD-I, I drained my fuel cell and checked my fuel filters. The gas in the cell was from April when I took it to Charlotte so I put fresh gas in. The old gas didn't have that stale smell, but I know this ethanol gas will separate and cause issues. A few gallons of fresh gas and it's running well again upergrin:
