Year, engine, trans, lift size, tires, other mods... What have you tried? When was your last tuneup?

Oxygen sensor failure is certainly a possiblity. They're only good for about 80,000 miles.

Would u recommended I replace mine

How many miles have you had your Jeep? They not only fail, they get lazy and unresponsive.

stev-o

My Jeep has 180k and I've put about 5k on it how do u know if it has failed

If you see a steady decrease in mileage. Or sometimes you will see your idle slowly roughen up little by little. For the price of an upstream NTK o2 sensor off rockauto.com, that should be one of the first things you do when getting a new jeep. Besides, if it slightly improves your mileage, which it should, it will pay itself off in no time

You check and see if you have any bad leaks like your gasket tighten up the valve cover and oil pan check your intake and exhaust manifold bolts see if there is Air getting into your engine . Test by taking brake cleaner and spray different areas and see if idle change at all basically low dollar leak detaction

cruiser54

When spraying for vacuum leaks it's probably better to use throttle body cleaner as it is oxygen sensor safe. Some aerosols, if they come in contact with the tip of the oxygen sensor, will damage it.
