As most of you know, I have been working on vehicles for 45+ years so I though I would take this problem and pose it to you guys. I have a pretty good idea what it is and will troubleshoot it when I get off work today, but thought it might be fun to see how you do. The winner gets a 6 pack of Fat Tire.
I just finished replacing a finiky acting AW4 in my 85 XJ w/4.7L stroker with headers and 2.5" exhaust all the way back. It was running fine before the tranny swap. I disconnected the battery before starting working on it. When I start it, it idles fine and the rpms adjust to 700 rpm just like it supposed to. The problem is that it simply won't rev over about 1500 rpms. When it hits around 1300 it starts to miss.
Fuel pressure seems fine but will put a gauge on it later. Checked TPS connections but didn't measure yet. Nothing replaced other than the tranny.
Lets see your ideas. Propose one fault only and be specific. Follow up your selection with how you arrived at your answer.
