Hi,
As the subject says, I have a 1990 Ford Bronco II that I bought a couple months ago. It's a 2.9L V6, with a manual transmission and is 4 wheel drive. Recently it has been having trouble starting. It's fine when the engine is still hot or even warm, but after I come out in the morning or after work it takes two or sometimes three tries to get it started. Some times is chugs a little when it starts, but most of the time it just fires right up after I get it to start. I hear the fuel pump prime and everything. I have replaced the fuel filter, plugs and wires, the battery, and tried injector cleaners and what not, but still happens. It Runs amazing when it is running, but it does leak a little oil from the valve covers because I haven't had the money to replace them yet, but I don't think it's enough to have compression issues. Could I just need to replace them or could it be something else?
