    Running diagnostics for fuel pump primer not shutting off...

    I was referring to the guy in the video I posted. He said it comes out through the firewall in the cab. There were a ton of videos and diagnostic sites all pointing to the EEV-IV unit. Even guys with Mustangs scratching their heads over the fuel pump priming even when the key was out of the...

    Running diagnostics for fuel pump primer not shutting off...

    Much appreciated Motech. Here's my secret → NOTE: My 92' Bronco did NOT pop out from the inside cab by the firewall. It was obtained through the wheel well. Credit where it is due! There is little you cannot learn on YouTube. One other video convinced me that there are so many fuel pump...

    Running diagnostics for fuel pump primer not shutting off...

    I understand and I always appreciate feedback. After looking at the caps (see photo) I made the decision to give it a shot. This image shows the positive connector is fully broken off & leaking. That made the decision a lot easier. The 2nd photo shows all three replacements. I'll report back...

    Will report back ASAP. Getting the capacitors is an entirely different story. Two are 47uf/16v 105c, one 10uf/63v 105c. Ofc I've found one but not the other!

    I got the EEC-IV out after wrestling with wire sets blocking it's exit. Your advice was spot on Motech regarding working from the wheel well. Once the unit is pulled, a star bit screwdriver is necessary to access the EEC-IV circuit board within. These photos show the corrosion/leakage from the...

    Thanks for that info Motech. I wasn't sure about what I was getting into there!. I got the wheel well bent so I am going to wrestle with those bolts under the hood now.

    The inner wheel well liner blocks removal of ECM/PCM. Also, the other photo shows the ECM/PCM coming through the lower left cab firewall (left rear of break pedal)

    Running diagnostics for fuel pump primer not shutting off...

    Well, my next stop is to check the ECM for bad capacitors. I'll replace them myself instead of buying a costly rebuilt comp. I've researched a bit and bad ECM's are a main culprit when fuel pump primer doesn't shut-off and the car won't start.

    Running diagnostics for fuel pump primer not shutting off...

    Thx for chiming in Motech! I did place the fuel pump relay in the right space. I even replaced it with the old one after it didn't help. Checked all the fuses. I checked all the grounds and made sure they were solid/clean. I could not pull any codes with my OBD I Ford scanner. Just sat at 000...

    Saw the other thread about this. Mine is a bit different in symptoms. 1992 Bronco, 5.8L. I have new battery showing 12.5 volts, alternator showing 14+ volts while running, new fuel pump relay installed, ground by battery secure/no corrosion. Car can start when I hear the primer finish...

    '92 XLT Starting Issue

    Hi Tiha, I bled the system through the Schrader valve. Started right up, just turned the ignition and didn't even need to give it any gas. Ran her for 5 minutes. Thanks for your help, saved me all kinds of time & headaches!

    '92 XLT Starting Issue

    Hi Tiha. Will check that thanks for the suggestion. Sound like it runs (pump) but it could be an initial act that conks out too. The Bronco has run so well since 2019. That was the year I retired and drove it to Virginia from the west coast. Later, drove it Illinois running smooth as can be.

    '92 XLT Starting Issue

    Thx for responding. Starter engages, new battery. Has to be a fuel issue somewhere in the supply line but siphoning being the last thing I did had me thinking it could have affected something. Fuel filter, pump is what I'm going to investigate.

    '92 XLT Starting Issue

    Gas being what it is, I had siphoned from the Bronco into my daily driver. Put a few gallons back into the Bronco and it will start but quickly shut-off first try, won't turn over second try. Had been working well, but haven't been driving it for a year with the prices so high. I would assume...
