So I decided to do a swap on my daily driver before the summer began. A 1998 tj. I took out the 2.5 manual and swapped in a 94 zj drivetrain. Which is a 4.0 and 42re. I ended up having the motor, transfercase, pcm, and tcm. Which I thought would be plenty to get it going. Boy was I wrong..
So it's been six months and I'm still having technical difficulties. I've bought a radiator, complete engine wiring harness, and another pcm. As well as a few other things I'll touch on in the words to come.
To make a long story short, I have it the the point where it fires up but immediately kills the injector pulse. After a few weeks of searching and reading on the web I have came to the conclusion that it's the pcm not having can bus communication with the alarm module.
I'm flat broke and almost out of hope. I buy a new used general pcm without security from beards Midwest jeeps. Theses guys have saved my bank on parts for this swap. Turns out it is not the problem.
I read somemore about bypass modules. And was actually going to the junk yard to find a decent carb to try n get work when I came across a 91 xj Laredo. I bought the pcm and complete dash wiring for $20..
I am still using the tj dash wiring. My question is should I take it all out and swap in the xj wiring harness. Or should I try to separate the xj alarm module and wire it in to my current setup. Are the security modules plug and play? Or would I need to have my pcm flashed. Say I use the xj pcm, and dash wiring. Would my zj tcm communicate with it?
