Open up the connectors, again, that your buddy opened earlier and check for bent pins. Also, since you were messing with sensors, remove your negative battery cable for a 10 count and then put it back on and try to start your Jeep. This will "flash" or reboot your ECU.

What does "barely start" mean?..Does it start or not?..Are you SURE you plugged everything back in as it should be?..No vacuum lines were dislodged?..Have you checked for any trouble codes in the computer?
