What years were Renix Era XJ vehicles built?

Did any other Jeep models get the Renix treatment?

 

the Renix 4.0 was used from 1987-1990 that is the only 4.0 Jeeps I have owned... they seem to last forever...

 

I've heard Renix equipped vehicles have troublesome issues with fuel an electrical components...how true is this

 

They can be supper reliable. Go years and years with no issues. I got so complacent.....then I finely looked at my plugs one day, (last year) .55 !!

OK, guess there IS maintenance

 

They're pretty reliable and everything on them can be tested with a meter.

Which is good, because they are PRE OBD, which means there are no codes to help you isolate faults.

It just takes a while to "get to know" them!

I had an 88 which I cut my Renix teeth on.

 

Renix is the name of the fuel injection system. It was a combined effort of RENault who owned 46% of Jeep at the time, and BendIX, a large woeldwide automotive supplier.

TJWalker and Flintstone are correct. They're fine. I also cut my teeth on these as I was Service Manager and shop foreman at the local dealership for 12 years, including the time when Renix was introduced in 1987. Quite a learning experience and BTW, all my Jeeps are Renix era.....

 

i agree with everyone here... my whole family has only owned Renix era Jeeps... and my Dad also worked on them when they were new... they seem to be the best in my opinion very few problems...
