I go out in the morning and my bronco starts fine. I run to the store and shut it off come back after 5 minutes and it turns over just fine but will not start unless I wait about 30 minutes and then it will start. I have noticed as I am driving that the battery light will flicker on and off. Will come on but never stay on. The battery is brand new and seems to hold a charge and it does not require a jump.

Hi billymac here. Your vehicle has a ignition control unit on the ds fender these things typically go out and cause temp no start conditions. Another prob they will have is the ign coil wire and connections. If the coil connections are ok I would replace the control unit. Billymac
