Hello everyone, I need some help with my BRONCO II '88 2.9,

It all started with alittle shacking while i was driving, it would start to choke like it wasn't getting enough gas. Sometimes it would run very rough and mostly choke only when driving on a highway at higher speed, In lower gear, low speed it was working better. But lately it was running rough even in lower gear, It all started very slow, and was chocking just alittle and now it wouldnt start at all. At one point that chopking was gone for a couple of days and i thought that maybe it was just water in my tank but when it came back it was even worse and now when i try to start it - it turns over but wouldn't fire up. Yerstaday after not starting it for almost a month - i decided to give it a try and turned the key- and omg it started, but it only lasted about 3 seconds and then it quit again :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Iam wondering if someone had similiar problem? please help if you have any kind of answer. Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First thing I would check is the fuel filter, it's prolly totally plugged up. good luck, JSM84

take off the [i'm assuming its fuel injection] intake hose and squirt some gas or start fluid to see if it will run and if it dose you now its not getting fuel. did you try blowing through the old filter? was it easy if it was may have a bad fuel pump if you change it change the pickup Screen as well it is sometimes sold separate good luck.
