Holy run on sentence bro...

I'm not even sure what you're trying to ask us.

BSouthern92

sorry i fail that part of school lol
i fried a wire that went to my batt
and now my engine is running very rough?

Delta

i dont either. i think hes having a rough idle/ bad mpg after he shorted his #9 interior fuse


i think that his messing with the wire messed up his o2, thats the only thing that i could think of that would cause bad mpgs and idle

BSouthern92

is there any way to see if it is the o2?

martyinco

What year is your Cherokee?

BSouthern92

its a 92

martyinco

First thing I'd check, vacuum lines. It's easy to check and would cause it to run real bad. Second I'd change out your o2 sensors

Try this. Pretend you're explaining this to someone in person. Every time you pause to take a breath, type in a period.

BSouthern92

do i need to change both of them?
i could only find one under the jeep
and im really reallly tight on money rite now
and this is the only car really for me and my GFs family

BSouthern92

vacum canister behind the battery had a hole burned in the metal end from the damn wire
duck tape over the hole it runns better lol

BSouthern92

my GF keep sayin to tell all of yall thank you


also still wonder about the O2 sensor i have like almost 260,000 on the jeep
and idk what was replaced before i got it

martyinco

Good to hear man, amazing what a vacuum leak will do to a vehicle. You can also go to the JY and get a new vac ball for cheep.
