Sometimes I get one 21 code, sometimes two. But I have just replaced both oxygen sensors. And I've checked all the fuses in the engine compartment, but they seem all okay.
- which fuse should I look at, then I'll replace it anyway
- what else can I look at?

Apparently the oxygen sensors were the cause of my car surging. I've unplugged them both, and the problem is gone. But this is not ideal
Does someone have a wire scheme of a '96 for the oxygen sensors?

I got these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/380480509861
I noticed that the front sensor looks different from the old one. Here is a picture of them side by side:
The old one is on the left side.
Do I have the wrong one? Or should this one also work?
The wire colors are:
before the connector: black/blue, black/blue, black/white, green/brown
old o2: white, white, grey, black
new o2: white, white, grey, black
Since the old one and the new one have the same colors, I just connected them the same way.

Oh ok, I was going to say thats not new..lol
I would go for a NTK one. Generic o2 sensors don't seem to do good in a jeep.
You could try a bosch o2 sensor.
But I have read where some ppl had probs with them and some didn't.
Ive just used NTK..
