That sounds absolutely spot on, that fix is what I will do. It's not a big thing and definitely worth doing, especially as I am in Yuma where it is very warm. Many thanks, will keep you posted as I go along.
I like the spark tester, I will get one of those. I'm thinking a fuel pressure tester to check pressure when it dies might be a useful addition as well.
When it dies it sort of lets you know by faltering for a few seconds before finally quitting, no amount of pedal action makes any difference.
Went to the shop today, no result. He has pulled the codes and only the o2 sensor shows up. The fuel pressure is good. He has tried but can't get it to fail. Thinks it might be the ignition module and suggests I just take it and if it fails again immediately check for spark. This is so annoying!

At first glance that sounds really complicated but I will do my best to get down to it. I'm from the uk and I am used to dealing with carburetor sand spark plugs, injection is foreign to me, also the nearest thing to engine management I am used to is an ignition light and an oil light, that's...
Thanks for that, unfortunately I did not see the filter, I was wondering if it would be worthwhile taking the new one off and checking again. Also reading through the forums I see there is an inertia switch somewhere on the drivers side floor, as I'm bouncing around the desert could this have...
Hi, I am a new bronco owner, I have an 89 bronco 2 3.9. Twice now while out with 4x4 group the motor has just quit and I have had to be towed. The first time a blocked filter was diagnosed and changed. Second time out after that it happened again, had it towed to the shop but by the time they...
