    Thanks for the information. It gave me some areas to think about. I am in the middle of a frankenstien swap from a 97tj to an 89yj. Trying to get rid of the renix system (that also has many bad wires) and enjoy a little fuel injection. I have the injector harness and the motor harness but do not have the firewall harness. Just getting started. We shall see how it goes.

    On my 98 xj with a 99 engine, the oil pressure sending unit and plug on harness was different between the 2. I was running the 98 sender on the 99 engine with the 98 harness and 98 ecu and all was good. Then the ecu went, so I put the 99 ecu in and everything worked but the oil pressure gauge. So now I’m going to try putting the 99 harness in with a 99 sending unit.

    Good video! Question for you!! I have a 96 complete engine, all sensors, ecu, harness, everything! I have seen videos where people strip them down to nothing but I really don’t wanna do that. Can a person simply hook all of it up and run it as it is.? It’s going in an old jeep that doesn’t have to communicate really anything else in the dash or all the other little random things like a newer Jeep would have. Cps is already figured but thanks!

    • @BudgetPowerGarage

      96 only works with 96 doesn't interchange. Its basically a 94 95 with 98-01 ecu plugs and a obd2 port.

    Can I take the engine and trans from my 2000 Jeep Cherokee xj 4.0 6L and put it in my 1992 Jeep Cherokee xj 4.0 6L ?

    • @BudgetPowerGarage
      @BudgetPowerGarage  4 роки тому

      Look up renix to ho swap. For engine. Transmission input and out put splines are different so the transfer case wont mate to the new trans plus the tcu will probably flip out also. If your set on it you could dash swap and use all the wiring computers from a 2000 will require new holes in the firewall. Engine trans and transfer case. All as a unit.

    i think the ecu in my 99 is bad because the jeep as been running very lean and all sensors grounds have been replaced and or cleaned i understand that 97-99 will work but i have a 5 speed is there a difference between an auto and a manual computer?

      Auto have a tcu under the dash so the computer should be the same

    i bought ecm for my cherokee xj 2000 number 635AJ then the car start and turned off after 3 - 5 second the seller said the ecm without skim but its not programmed to my car vin what will i do

    • @BudgetPowerGarage
      @BudgetPowerGarage  3 роки тому

      Disconnect your skim module. Every non skim ecu has a blank there. Once it sees the skim module it connects to it. Making the ecu useless with out programming. Try unplugging the skim module first and unhook the battery. Stick the ebay ecu in and never plug the skim back in.

      @@jessehinton480 Take distributor out and put the cam potion sensor in and use your coil pack off the old motor. The ecu will not be able to run it with a distributor. You will have to put number 1 at top dead center before dropping in the CPS. Im Sure theres a how to do that on youtube. Also may have to get creative on the coilpack I dont think the 99 had the bolt holes in the head.
