Replacing the TFI Ignition Module - ‘88 Ford Bronco II

7/32 deep socket 1/4 craftsman socket works as well!

Bro you are literally driving down warhill that where I live no way

Awesome, you helped save our 1988 Ranger. Same engine. I think the coil was going bad as well.

TF SC

Of the module is bad would that make it not start or have spark

I'm confused why you added dielectric to the prongs on the outside. Can anyone clarify this for me?

The socket I got said it is for 1/2 inch.

Change the fuel filter!! you will be happy.✌️

I have a 1988 Bronco II here in Lewistown, Mt. Good rigs.

like you, changed lots of vacuum hoses, sensors, chasing wires, but never changed that module. Always runs great for a bit then feels like it's chocking it self out. we sound like we have same symtoms. gonna change this module out. thanks for troubleshooting and explaining issue.

What year did you do this video because cheap as I can find is 40 and the other one was 70

i fix electronics---amplifers etc w/output chips....that use heat paste....ive got a 87 Bronco II n something tells me pulling mine out n adding some HI-TECH heat paste would extend life of it.... no? I know that def B4 i take a long trip id install a new one! Also Installed a new MAF sensor ( on passenger firewall) 6 mos later ....Started same idling thing again..up n down,,, I found the TOP cover of maf sensor was LOOSE, so i bring in house.. pull off, n use HOT GLUE to COMPLETELY fill internal area of maf sensor........ NO MO problems :)

Great video. Good lighting and good test results. Thanks

I am about to try it out , thank you .

Where is the fuel filter located on a 86 bronco 11

Also put in some reman injectors, can make a huge difference. $65 delivered on Ebay.

As of this writing I am still having the issue of stalling , also I didnt mention both fuel pumps are new ,since my first post ,I have put in new fuel pump relay , new throttle positioning sensor , new TFI module , so I am thinking its either the distributor or coil as everything else is new for the most part , anyone have any issues as this ? Any help is appreciated Thank you in advance frank

Hello I have a 1987 B 2 , 2.9 motor has been pulled new clutch ,engine seals complete , it usually runs good but recently it has been when running no throttle response while moving or is like its stalling then when you give it the gas nothing then all of a sudden its on again accelerating normal ,is this similar to the problem you`ve had ,if it is then I need to do this fix .

my 89 has gone throw 2 of those, and is killing its 3rd. there has got to be a better way to fix this.

My 86 bronco 2 is doing this rn. Where did you get the socket.

Got a bronco 2. Replaced the in tank pump and it ran perfect. Next day neither pump worked. Inirtia switch checked out fine. Any ideas?

That’s a dumb place for a distributor.. against the firewall? Great truck and video . Glad your keeping it on the road

Is That where you hook up an aftermarket tachometer

Did your temp gauge ever go up when the car had those issues?

The mechanics here in Los Cabos are very good and very bad to charge for finding faults but I have several years with my Bronco 2 and do not want to get rid of it but restore

many times when he starts to choke and spew black smoke but the engine shuts off when arrancarlo on without problem and sometimes short and sometimes the problem when turning it continues

My Bronco II is Year 88 and I live in Los Cabos Baja California Sur Mexico. for a long time I tried to be correct the problem but did not find the fault and have changed parts randomness is trying to remove the problem but still not remove him

It also has a flaw that makes it fail intermittently as if drowning excess gasoline but it will change various sensors and each time they connect you to the scanner does not show what the problem is, what do you think is what is going wrong?

Friend you who are giving examples of how to change parts of your Bronco II would like to help me and tell me that when strongly accelerated throws black smoke?

They make a little ratcheting wrench with the bit built in for ford moduels , i love your bronco2 i have an 87 same color only roof is maroon too mine only has 18k on it

Heater Core Replacement makes up for all other sins...

Thanks for the vid. Have the same 88 stick shift. Im now going to buy these parts and socket just in case. Greetings from San Diego.

Can I bring my 87 bronco ii to y’all for a tune up? Experiencing similar issue however to a lesser degree. Nice video.. Thx. Jay.

Doing one right now same problem runs for 1/2 hour and shuts off will not start. 1988 Ranger 2.9L thanks for the video great content.

This TFI module sucks! I had, again, this same issue last summer but it took me many trips to the autoparts store to figure out what sockets and ratchet I needed! What a pain! Wish I had this video a year ago! I read you can move this module to avoid the heat issue but I'm not sure. I was also able to pull the distributor cap without disturbing any other parts, it was a pain but doable!
