I've been driving my Bronco for about 6 months now after a complete frame up with no major issues. I'm running a 5.0 EFI from a '91 Mustang.
On my way home from work the other day I was cruising at 60mph and she just died, cold turkey. No warning, no sputter, just done.
I coasted into a parking lot and jiggled everything I could think of and found a *slightly* loose wire on the ignition switch, tightened it up, turned the key and she fired right up... Finished my drive home.
The following day: same story on my way to work, this time there was nothing to tighten... looked everything over and found nothing. Turned they key, she fired right up... Finished my drive to work.
Same day on my way home: same old story except this time, I coasted to a stop, turned off the key, and on a whim, ate sunflower seeds until 5 minutes had passed. Turned the key, she fired right up... Finished my drive home.
From that, it seems pretty clear that it's a heat issue and we're having 90º+ days here in Texas.
My only thought is that my computer is overheating and shutting off?
Thanks in advance.
