Starting Problem
its about 25 degrees outside and my jeep wont start unless you step on the gas, it runs fine after that. Before now it has always started fine, i took it to advance auto and they did a dignostics test and it said both o2 sensors were bad. Could that be the cause?

If your O2 sensors were bad, you should notice a driveability problem or poor fuel economy. If your jeep runs and drives with no issue, but needs some extra umphh to start to an idle its usually a idle air control problem.(IAC Motor)

Both are tricky, they would only show up if they are completey dead. If they are slow or lazy, it might not show up as a fault, but you might catch them if you look at the live data.
