So no injector pulse (verify with noid light)? Can you reinstall the original PCM and what did you use for fuel injectors? This could all boil down to a wiring or corroded connector issue.

Yea I still have it and I used injectors from an 02 tj. And yea that's what I was thinking but I've checked the harness and sensor wires as well as the grounds but nothing has helped so far. Anywhere else to check?

PCM grounds the injector circuit to activate make sure all the connectors are solid. Since we suspect there is no fuel pulse here is a NOID if you can't find one local:

Your symptoms sounds like coolant getting into the cylinders, or a burnt valve.
Cracked head is not out of the question.
I'm not convinced the problem is electrical or fuel related.

The detergents in modern oils can mask coolant contamination until it gets really bad.

Place each cylinder at TDC Compression and check the play in each rocker arm at that cylinder.

White smoke is burning coolant.
Look for a crack between #3 and # 4 cylinders on the head.
The factory 0331 heads on 2000-01 XJs are real prone to cracking there because of a factory casting flaw that exists in every one of them.
Some have said they can see it by shining a good light through the oil filler hole and looking at that area.
