Ive gone thru hours reviewing the topic of Renix High Idle at Startup and havent found anything that seems to fit the problem on my 88 XJ. As the subject line states when I start up my XJ it revs up high (no tach to watch) for 8-10 seconds. Then it settles back to whatever the idle speed is...

What idiot designed the ECU mount in the Renix XJs? Spent a hour "trying' to "properly" reinstall the replacement ECU in my '88 upside down, twisting and turning my body in +100* Texas heat. To "properly" install the darn thing the connectors end up jammed against the transmission tunnel...
