92 bronco, full size, 302 auto -
Monday night i started it up, let it run about 2 minutes, cut it off, went to start it again and it wont start. Tries to start..sometimes. Acts like its flooded. It has flooded before, and you hold your foot down like it was a carb. and it'll fire up. so, i tried ether - Nothing. twiddled with the timing - nothing. Burned up the starter - so, $110 later, we have a new starter, and a truck that wont start. it has been sitting for 2 days, while the starter was bad, so if it was flooded it should've been aired out, but still no start. Check the fire at the coil -good. Check the fire at the plugs -good. Pulled a plug, and it was wet. Grounded it to the block and it fired. Any suggestions?

 

by the way the news is calling for 21 inches of snow starting tomorrow night!!!

 

Check the TPS.

 

i wondered about that, i think i replaced it about 4 years ago, but i dont recall why i changed it ....if i unplug it will the computer put in a defalt??

 

i was going to check if it has jumped time but it has about 15 inches of snow on the hood....... has anyone had a small block jump time ?? did it make a funny noise or any thing like that?? did it happen after a start up or after a shut down? my other wonder is that is it just so flooded that the cold temps wont alow any of the fuel to vaporize and alow it to start....tomorrow i guess i will dig it out and find out if it is in time..as i hope so.
