Default Sputtering Issues.

I bought a 1991 XJ recently and the guy I bought it from said it need a new fuel pump. well it'll cutt in and out while its warming up. after driving for 20 mins it wont do it again. well he gave me a new fuel pump to put in it. I put it in and it still does it. I bought a new fuel pump relay and it still does it. Could it be a short somewhere? has anyone elses done this?

O2 sensor.

I have a 91 and it did the same thing. I threw parts at it, ignoring this board.

The 02 sensor fixed it immediately. No CEL

Now that I think about it. I don't have one after my cat. It didnt have a o2 plug in the pipe after the cat (bought it with no muffs) but right now it doesn't have a cat (I know it's against the rules to have that but thats the way it is right now.)
