LOL!!! Some of these guys are trying too hard to tell you how something WON'T work to think of how it will. 

 

And some simply don't have a clue what they're talking about. 

 

So that POS now runs w. a new computer? Congrats - you guys lucked out. This old saying comes to mind: Even a blind squirrel etc. etc. LOL!!!

 

You still need to rip out all that crap wiring and do it right before it burns up. The advice you received from the guys who "don't have a clue what they're talking about" was spot-on junior.

Ha! So the advice to keep the cj distributor with a zj ecm was spot on? For SHUUUUUR, dude!

 

And "junior" may apply to my experience with an MJ but believe me when I tell you that I've been messing with these Jeeps for a looooong time, grasshopper. "Row tahd" anyway, my bammer buddy!

I wasn't going to jump back into this, but now I have to.

 

Here's the deal: You may not agree with all the suggestions people here provided, but YOU came here asking for help. Your vast experience with Jeeps is so awesome that after messing with Jeeps for a "looooong time" you didn't know the difference between "cranking" and "firing." Do you really expect us to be impressed? We are all here to try to help each other, but each of us brings to the table the fruits of our own particular experience and the lessons we have learned from the mistakes we have each made over the years. Your friend got lucky with the second ECU. It might not have worked. The fact that he got lucky is not a valid reason to start throwing insults at people who responded to your plea for help with suggestions offered in good faith.

 

But you keep on however you see fit. Just remember, Grasshopper, that the next time you need help, the people you've been throwing insults at are likely to just click past your problem and move on to help someone who appreciates their efforts.

The bit dawg yelps the loudest.

semantics trip up the weakest minds. I was not technical enough for you but everyone else knew exactly what I was saying. You may have also but you were too excited to put me in my place. BTW, I never said the starter motor was not rotating the flywheel (hows that for being technical?) I said the engine would not crank (as in “run” as it should.) The fact is you came into the thread long after “not cranking/firing” had been established.

 

Your friend got lucky with the second ECU.

"Got lucky" by researching and determining the problem, eh? Nice spin.

 

It might not have worked.

It DID work. What NEVER would've worked was your suggestion to use a cj distributor with the ecm. For THAT to work would require some sho nuff "luck" or maybe a miracle from God!

I didn't insult anyone till HOrnbrod did. Before that I agreed with DirtyComanche that your advice suct. 

There was so much wrong with your post I had to dissect it.
