Depends. Older EFI had "batch fire" where several injectors (like 3 on
a straight 6) were wired together in parallel. "Sequential fire"
systems control each one individually. I'd guess by 1998 even Jeep was
Sequential; and from what you describe, it sounds like the driver for
that one may well be fried. You can probably buy a re-maned computer
for less than you might think. Maybe $150 at you local parts retailer.
Or Ebay... or a junkyard...

Do you really need to ask? They suck and they're long gone. Good Riddance.
Actually, I brought the topic up on another mailing list -- "what was
the last vehicle sold in the US with a carb" and somehow a couple guys
determined it was the 1991 Subaru Justy.
Honda has engine management down so well, my 2006 Acura RSX doesn't even
have an EGR valve :) No pollution controls on the thing other than the
cat'. Makes for a nice clean engine compartment; 200HP from 122 cubes
is cool, as is 11:1 compression on pump gas. In fact, it has the fewest
smog devices of any car I've ever owned, and that's going back to a 1973
Olds Cutlass.
