Ok so I have a 92 ford bronco it stopped running on me and it bogged down and shut off when I gave it so much gas I have replaced the fuel filter but nothing is happening the fuel pump is pumping gas through the lines and when it tries to start it whines and tries to kick in and start but wont and on the times I do get lucky and it starts after about 3 minutes it bogs down and dies

Based on your description, it sounds like it isn't getting gas. See if it will start for a few seconds using starting fluid. Let me know what you find.

The cleaner shouldn't have hurt anything. Not sure of the valve you are talking about. Can you upload a picture of it for me to see? Could it be the fuel pressure regulator?

If it looks like a tire valve, it sounds like the schrader valve. That is where you check fuel pump pressure. Is that leaking? It is on the fuel rail.

Please, I can't remember if you have multi port injection. Can you tell me?

I am having trouble remembering if they were in 92. I believe they were. If you are certain that the fuel pump pressure is within the manufacturer's specs. I need you to check and see if there is a good hot blue snapping spark to the plugs. Also, let me know how many miles are on this engine.
