yo PH!
Welcome to da ZONE!
Have charging & starting sys tested for Free at a local parts store.
I'd do a Self Test for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)anyway, such as this by our good friend, BroncoJoe
http://broncozone.co...587entry74587
I run it around to heat the engine up and shift thru all gears incl Reverse.
then; turn off all accesories/lights, etc.
Do KOEO portion first
For Key On Engine Running (KOER) portion, the engine has to be @ normal operating temp.
Posat any codes found here or look em up in my broncolinks.com site.

Of course there are more that could be tested; do that stuff first
GL!
thank you very much for your time miesk u were right i pulled the spout connector and re timed it and it ran like a champ for a couple days. and now i think i am having starter issues cause now if i go on long drives and shut it off it will barly turn it over (but runs awesome). i have read in some threads that maybe the headers r causing the starter to get to hot. can some one verify that for me ??
