Bought a 1987 Bronco ll.Seller said truck is a-ok(ha ha) but been sitting for a year...Drove it home fine.Dad changes oil, timing,replaces missing vacuum line and a filthy fuel filter.Now you drive it a block and its starts jerking sputtering and sometimes cuts off.Replaced EGR valve and fuel sensor-no help.Oil is filthy after 1 week already.What would you do next, on a limited budget at that...

If the oil is filthy after one week, the moron probably went 20,000 miles without changing it and the engine is full of sludge. You can try to clean it out, but mostly you'll be breaking little bits of sludge off and plugging half the passages in the engine.
Dad might have messed up the timing too.
I'd have the seller beaten up and cut my losses.

first thing your oil is getting dirty from the sludge in your engine mixing with your oil by some engine restorer from the parts store and read the directions, i've thought about your sputtering problem i have seen a lot of fords where the fuel pressure regulator goes bad and that will cause it too, don't hold me to it, by the regulator if it fixes it keep if not return it for a refund any more questions you can email me at kennybigmoney@yahoo.com
