back story. in January i threw the # 6 connecting rod in my 90 cherokee with the renix 4.0. i procured a 92 4.0 ho that ran when pulled. sat under a cover for 2 yrs in the shop. so this spring i started the swapping procedures. changed exterior gaskets. checked cylinders for wear. replaced timing chain & gears. i used the ho fuel rail, intake & exhaust. renix tps, distributor, alternator, electronics. ive replace all the electronics from the distributor to the ecm.

so to the problem at hand. engine wont go above 2800-3000 rpms. doesnt matter if its in park, neutral or driving down the road. at around 2800 rpms it cuts out and stutters. stock fuel rail. 4 hole injectors for the cherokee.

ive been driving it with the transmision switch on normal, but when you switch it to torque it wont shift.

Check your fuel pressure. Renix runs 31psi with vacuum hose attached. 39 psi unattached. Are you using the HO fuel pressure regulator? I think it uses a higher fuel pressure.,

yes running ho fuel regulator. i just removed the aftermarket regulator i had on it. fuel doesnt effect the loss. i had the aftermarket regulator turned to 31, but even adjusting it on the fly with the engine reved at high had not change

So did you ever get this figured out?

If you use an HO flexplate on a Renix system, you might experience these problems.

My 01 is doing the same thing won’t rev past 2800 RPM with a rough idle. I’ve been sick for 8 days now so haven’t got to more diagnostics. I made a post on here and had some good suggestions. Hopefully between the both of us we can get a solution and fix . Good luck sir
