Run a wire from the battery right to the starter and see if she pops. If it turns over, I'd say it's the ignition.

Put a volt meter on your battery. How many volts?

The last thing to not pass a test is the ignition switch. It makes no sense if you crossed the starter terminals and it didn't spin. Put a volt meter on the hot side of the starter. If you don't get 12 volts, there has to be a fusible link some where in the system that you've missed.

Hey guys, i have a 1985 Bronco II, 2.8L, XLT. There is a hose that is missing from the side of my air filter housing that leads to the front of the vehicle. I have searched high and low for this replacement hose. I think my biggest problem is that I do not know what the part is actually called. Does anyone know what this part would be called? Thanks, upfront, for the help. 5 Answers
