The biggest prob Ihad was with the wiring some of it looked the same on the '92 but would not work when conected to the '95 so Iwould have to cut and soilder stuff from the '95 harness to the '92 it was a PITA! '95 are not OBDII so that should not be a problem.

thats why it worked you got 92 ignition for you 92 jeep not the year of the motor its the ECU you need to be compatible with

I believe I have her wooped. Person who I bought the engine from had the distrubutor all outa sync. Got her fired up today and she runs like a dream for now. used the 95 distributor for it and it seems to work out with the 93 system. going to take her for the maiden voyage and post some pics up so that way you gents see what ya help me with.

Thanks and I will keep posting as my true blue xj is under way.
