ok what im getting at here is -im trying to determine if the dristributers are of different operating systems-did you buy the new distributor for the same year car as yours or did you buy it for the motor that you put in the jeep?

ecu maybe- but did you have this problem before ya changed the motors? did you use all of the sensors off of the old motor-is the crankshaft sensor the old one-( lets call the old parts the old parts off of the old motors-its easier that way) im assuming that you used all of the old sensors off of the old motor and no modifactions were nessecery?is all the grounds connected to the engine? also try this using a set of jumper cables connect oneto the engine then find a body ground and connect the other end of the jumper to the body ground
