![]() ![]() ![]() When Renault encountered financial troubles in 1985, it sold its interest in Renix to Allied Corp., a major auto industry supplier and the new owner of Bendix. Renix Electronique S.A., was established in 1981 as a joint venture by Renault with 51% interest and Bendix with 49% that was headquartered in Toulouse. It was preceded by the AMC Computerized Engine Control, and followed by the Mopar MPI system. Production began by American Motors (AMC) with the 1987 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) models. It is better known in America for its application in the AMC 4.0 L displacing 3,960 cc (242 cu in) straight-6 engines. It was first seen in engines produced by Renault (Renault 21, 25, and Espace) in 2.0 L (122 cu in) and 2.2 L (134 cu in) capacities. In such an application, it consisted of an ECU and a number of sensors. Later, the name was synonymous with a form of fuel injection. The ECU is sealed and cannot be serviced, and the EPROM cannot be re-programmed. The system uses an angle sensor and a number of fuel sensors to provide a maintenance-free ignition system. In certain carburetor equipped Renault and Volvo models, it provides an electronic ignition system, consisting of an engine control unit (ECU) to replace the job of contact breaker points in the distributor. The term Renix also has a number of applications. Renix made automobile electronic ignitions, fuel injection systems, electronic automatic transmission controls, and various engine sensors. ![]()
