as many of you here may already know i have a 79 f250. but i also have an 86 bronco 2. 2.9,5speed,4x4 w/manual hubs. it caught on fire on me last summer(bad schrader valve) i spent over $1000 replacing,repairing,and fixing the fire damage. but i have a problem with it that no one can seem to help me through. ill list everything that been replaced post fire. plugs,wires,dist,dist cap and rotor,tfi module,computer,brake master cyl,clutch reserve cyl, all wiring on rear of engine, clutch line, all brakes (they needed replaced anyways) now for my problem. it starts and idles fine when cold but once the temp gauge reads about 120 deg it starts backfiring,popping,carrying on,and eventually dies. but when cold it runs like it always has and has no problems what so ever. did i get a wrong computer from the parts store?? or could this be something else?? before the computer was replaced it ran but it ran like crap hence the computer replacement but now it run good but for only about 10-15 mins at best. it has good fuel pressure,no leaks anywhere, im completely stumped. tried a new alternator and a "new" battery thinkijng the alt died from the wiring being torched and was draining the batt. but the results are the same. so im at a complete loss here. id like to have it finished by this winter since its 4x4 and gets twice the gas milage of my old truck. so anything that you guys could give me on this is greatly appreciated. thanks again,bill
