Some info for you;
The air bag indicator will flash the appropriate diagnostic trouble code to indicate the suspect circuit. If the indicator is malfunctioning the tone will be heard.
* Diagnostic trouble codes are prioritized numerically so if two or more different faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed.

do self test anyway; some faults do Not light the CEL since, "Don’t worry if the Check Engine Light is not on, the computer will store lesser important codes without flashing lights in your face."
and;
A technician that is unfamiliar with the EEC Self-Test can mistakenly believe that continuous Memory codes are not present when they really are. He may run KOER Self-Test and get a pass code (111) and not realize that KOEO Self-Test must be run to receive any Continuous Memory codes. He may run KOEO Self-Test while counting MIL flashes and misinterpret the repeated hard fault pass code (111) to mean that Continuous Memory does not contain any codes.

-- from our Owner's Guide;
"The E4OD and 4R70W transmissions are
electronically controlled four speed automatic
transmissions with overdrive. Transmission
operation is controlled by the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
The PCM will automatically adjust transmission
operation to make up for varying conditions.
Several sensors located on the engine and
transmission such as Throttle Position, Engine
Speed, Vehicle Speed and Transmission
Temperature are used by the PCM to shift the
transmission into a higher or lower gear when
required for the best performance and fuel
economy. For example, you may notice that the
transmission will upshift to a higher gear more quickly when the vehicle is first driven and has
not reached normal operating temperature.The PCM also controls the transmission’s Torque
Converter Clutch to further raise vehicle
performance and fuel economy. The Torque
Converter Clutch will engage when the
transmission operating temperature and other
conditions determined by the PCM have been
met. Engagement of the clutch may be noted as
a decrease in engine speed after an upshift has
completed or when the driver has depressed the
throttle while driving at a steady road speed.
To help in troubleshooting, the PCM continually
performs self-tests on the electronic control
system and if any faults are detected, will store
them in memory. The Transmission Control
Indicator Light (TCIL), which is located on the
gearshift lever, may flash steadily if a
malfunction has been detected..."

btw, A technician that is unfamiliar with the EEC Self-Test can mistakenly believe that continuous Memory codes are not present when they really are. He may run KOER Self-Test and get a pass code (111) and not realize that KOEO Self-Test must be run to receive any Continuous Memory codes. He may run KOEO Self-Test while counting MIL flashes and misinterpret the repeated hard fault pass code (111) to mean that Continuous Memory does not contain any codes. The engine temperature must be greater than 50°F (10°C) to pass the KOEO Self-Test and greater than 180°F (82°C) to pass the KOER Self-Test. To accomplish this, the engine should be at normal operating temperature
One possibility is; Ford TFI Ignition Module; this is a good guess... but do the Self Test for Codes.
Has that TFI Module been replaced Free under the recall? If you do not know, go to a Ford dealer and ask them to check using the VIN Code.
or, DIY by registering at Ford and look to see what recalls are outstanding, plus; Owner Guides (Manuals), Bronco/Ford truck & other Ford vehicles, free, download

Did you see any corrosion insde the FP Relay's socket?
Fuel Pump Relay Socket Corrosion Info; spray it down with contact cleaner; They absolutely HATE moisture; also ck the EFI Power Relay (should be next to the FP Relay) for operation & corrosion.
Next is the Inertia Fuel Cut-Off Switch (did you have a front end fender bender recently?
see this by Bronco Rob & Steve 83; http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38216
Fuel Pump Relay Operational Sequence;
An inertia switch is used as a safety device in the fuel system. The inertia switch is located in the cab, generally under the dashboard on the right side. It is designed to open the fuel pump power circuit in the event of a collision. The switch is reset by pushing each of 2 buttons on the switch simultaneously (some models use switches with only one reset button). The inertia switch should not be reset until the fuel system has been inspected for damage or leaks.
When the ignition switch is ON, it turns the EEC power relay ON. The EEC power relay provides power to the powertrain control module (PCM) and the control side of the fuel pump relay. Power for the fuel pump(s) is supplied through a fuse link or high current fuse attached to the starter solenoid (battery side). From the fuse link or high current fuse, current flows through the fuel pump relay and inertia switch to the fuel pump(s). The fuel pump relay is controlled by the PCM.
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the fuel pump(s) will operate. If the ignition switch is not turned to the START position the PCM will shut the fuel pump(s) OFF after 1 second. The PCM will operate the fuel pump(s) operate the fuel pump(s) when the ignition switch is turn to START position to provide fuel while cranking.
After the engine starts, the PCM will continue to operate the fuel pump(s) unless the engine stops, drops below 120 rpm or the inertia switch is tripped.

The pickup in the distributor can throw a code when it is intermittent or not working..
One of many reasons you should check your codes
Have you done a code check? scan above for a DIY check that I have posted a few times here.
The FP relay is in da IRCM (formerly called da CCRM) and it is Mounted forward of the airbox The CCRM is not usually serviceable. But if you want to take a shot at it see Joe's info in Link below
Troubleshoot & Repair Your Malfunctioning Integrated Relay Control Module (IRCM) - by - J o e F r a z i e r NATO Member "Joe Cool
http://www.turbotbird.com/techinfo/New_IRCM/IRCM.html
CCRM = Constant Control Relay Module , IRCM = Integrated Relay Control Module;. This relay contols the fan, fuel pump and A/C clutch if i'm not mistaken.
the fuel pump relay is tied into the IRCM on 94-95s; Since 1986, Ford has used, on several models, an Integrated Relay Control Module (IRCM) to operate the fuel pump, engine cooling fan and compressor clutch. During the early 1990’s, the
name was changed to Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM). The module has a 24-pin connector .

17 Reference Voltage/Intermittent Valve Fault
Possible Source(s):
· 30 amp fuse open.
· Intermittent connections to battery, main relay or ground. @ driver's side radiator support and;
· Main relay coil or contacts open. MIESK5 note; check relay contacts FOR corrosion pull relay again & ck ;
also see Fig. 12 and on (in below LINK) for pin point tests of CODE 17 -· Open or short to ground in Circuit 532 (O/Y). · Open or short to ground in Circuit 599 (PK/LG).
· Open or short to ground in Circuit 601 (LG/PK).MIESK5 note; FROM FUSE PANEL 30 amp fuse
· Short to ground through anti-lock hydraulic control unit.
· Intermittent valve failures.
· High resistance valves.
So, ck that Relay's contacts (not the relay's contacts, but the connector's contacts.)
Here is Chilton's wiring diagram via autozone; you will see all above ckts and color codes in Fig. 8: 4-wheel ABS testing-1993-96 Bronco models

Read thru all of that Chilton stuff; can save you $ btw, the rear ABS sensor on the diff would give Code 57.

Take it to get a free batty, alternator, etc check at AutoZone, Also Adv Auto may do it free too;
possible battery, grounds, connectors, etc.
Did you do the Self TEst for Codes? if not, get it done free at the AZ and post results here.

Most likely; Could be just a head gasket which has blown between those two cylinders, sticky valve(s) etc.
or worse; Another possibility is that the camshaft is broken in an area that operates valves for two adjacent cylinders. not likely..
read more here Compression Testing, Stem
Source: by tradervar.com http://www.tradervar.com/Stem%20Compression%20Tester.pdf
A leakdown will determine whats going on in those cylinders,look inside the radiator for any "brown foam" to see if the head gasket is blown.Aside from that the leakdown will tell you all thats going on

electrics all check on nov. 1 as i got a new battery that day. have not tried the check the codes
heading to AZ tomorrow morning.

Doubt that it is the brake pedal, Look @ that AutoZone Link I posted and go thru the pin point tests for that Code. In reply mode here, I can't view what I posted.

had a cracked erg tube
valve system was shot
and the sensor..

Did the shop say anything about the TFI Module? Sometimes a new TFI can be a bad unit.
