remanufactured means they have taken someone elses core and rebuilt it to factory specs

renix is the ol skol engine management system used in 87 to 90 xj's

"Renix" is short for RENnault-BendIX, the design consortium that developed the early XJ ignition/injection system.

Renix stands for Renault and Bendix. They worked together on the fuel injection controls for the early 87-90 4.0L I6. Jeep was in bed with them.

You're a little quicker tonight, Eagle.

So was I wrong....I thought if he had to ask that I would not give him too many details

[MoFo]

You were not wrong. I just think people really wonder where the term came from. I know I did when I first heard it. Now I own 3 of them. They all still work well. I am sure Eagle was thinking the same thing about where the term came from.

Id honestly rather have a renix XJ then a chrysler one maybe becuase i know the renix system and love its french ways...its def got its quirks but once you understand it its a good stable system... the fact that a multiport fuel injec system with all the feedback systems that the renix has in place exisited in 1987 model year is amazing to me... Plus its bulletproof i have never seen someone fry their ECM...
