Had my bronco in storage for a few months and left the parking brake on. When I got it started and took the parking brake off and tried to reverse it wouldn't go anywhere. Finally when I gave it enough gas it peeled out and moved. Ever since then when I put it in drive it either wont move until I give it a lot of gas and then seems to jump into gear. It is a stock 75 with auto transmission. has anyone else had this problem?

Jack up the rear end. block the truck from rolling. Put the transmission in neutral. Take the parking brake off. Grab each of the rear tires and turn them by hand. You may have a stuck brake issue. should turn relatively free with the truck in neutral and parking brake off.

Is it possible that its caused by a partial or small vacume leak? Wondering if by stepping on the gass would increase the vacume enough to actuate.

No.

Fluid level, clogged filter, stuck brake, bad pump, something along those lines.
