5.4 lariat - no problem
Funny story
My son's Bronco II has been missing and he just put new plugs and wires on it. He also has put in a new fuel pump. So he says he want sto take it in for a diagnostic to Ford for $77. I drive over to give him a ride home and while I was there I picked up 3 more bottles of Motorcraft brake fluid, heh.
Anyways the dealer calls and say the fuel pressure is low and they need to change the fuel filter for another $40. He says ok. Come to find out that was the problem. I asked him if he felt stupid now and he says NO I couldn't find it to relace it, haha. Expensive lesson but it's on his nickle. $116 worth YIKES

Ahh the Bronco II's
I have a BII it's an 88' 4x4...I got it from my Aunt and it is in real nice shape, the electronic 4x4 works great...however when i got it, she was running like crap, I replaced the air filter, and did the plugs, ran a can of "Scrubbin Bubbles" through the engine, and checked timing. And that really made it come alive. But when on the highway I was noticing when I goosed it and droped a gear it would feel like it would miss and stumble again......
Thats when I changed the fuel filter, and damn, that made a huge diffrence. I couldnt even blow through the old one, and the new one was also alot bigger too. It was a WIX I think.
Since then It has run great!!
And the olf fuel filter was the factory one..With 100K on it.
Ahh the lessons learned..
