Why would a computer go bad because of an engine swap?

Your severe lack of knowledge regarding automotive things, especially Jeeps, becomes more apparent with each of your 9 total posts. I certainly wouldn't put you in the category of " advice giver" or "consultant".

I guess a good question for the OP would be if it ran before the engine swap?

That is what im trying to say maybe the computer has been bad and now that you swapped the engine it seems like a mask to the real problem.
