Here is the low down, I have a 1990 xj stock.
the renix engine has a rod knock, and recently has died on me while on the trail, just got it home, I have NO injector pulse, I don't think its the sync sensor, and ive heard the ECU's are not likely to go bad, im guessing that it is in the harness somewhere, I don't want to fuss with going through entire harness and looking for something that might not even be there.
I can get either a 95 motor, complete harness, and computers for 300
or
a 96 motor, trans, transfer case, and every electric on harness for 500
I know that i can swap it in with the harness, and on the 95 i would need to make my tps work with the throttle body so my trans shifts. and i would have to get new linkage and accelerator cable. (for this engine i am wondering if i can just use the renix throttle body and make an adapter plate for the manifold, does anybody know if this will work and will the renix tps work for the HO ecu?)
or with the 96 i would need to find a instrument cluster so my speedo works right, because the 96 uses a VSS, and the renix uses a speedo gear.
Please if anybody has any input at all id appreciate it, or if anybody has ever done this swap can give me info on it
