no the ecu i got didnt match pins. just touched new coil wire at distributor engine quit, changed coil wire from f350, started but flakey, died a few times, everything is new wiggled every connector didnt die till touched coil wire. new coil new coil module new cap new rotor, new relays, new fuel pump, new fuel filter, new battery, new o2 sensor new map sensor new tps sensor. new spark plugs new plug wires new fusible links new battery cables extra ground cables, extra ground to fuel pump, clean connectors with spray. random shutoff sometimes restart sometimes wait.

been working on comanche for months

it usually restarts, sometimes it won't wait an hour or next day starts right up. dies while driving and at idle. runs about 20 minutes gets up to 190 temp. cuts out immediately no sputter just dead.

yes its working, one time i touched the new renix adapter and the engine quit

i got my comamche from a friend. it was completely in pieces in the front seat and pickup bed. i knew nothing about jeeps, i had liked the 1960's style pickup trucks, i had a tonka replica. the previous jeep blew a rod out the blick amd still drove it, the entire engine bay is oil soaked. the engine was rebuilt with a 1986 block, cast aluminum valve cover, external clutch bell housing, rebuilt ax5 5 speed, no231j transfer case. i shortened and welded the original driveshaft then took it to a shop to be balanced, rewelded and new ujoints. i had to read forums to learn about jeeps, like which speedometer gear and housing i needed to order, i have soent countless hours tobget it running, made 2 100 miles trips to town then it started cutting out driving and idleing very dangerous. each time i merely touched a different component it would shut off, i would order that part, wouldnt fix it. i started doing cruiser54 tips, not all yet, you would not believe how ghis comanche has dominated my free time and limited money, to be unable to drive it is very frustrating. I owned 8 1964 chevy II novas, rebuilt engines swapped engines and can't figure out what is wrong with the comanche, i have ocd amyway, now i truly have the obsessive comanche disorder.
