alright so i have a 97 xj that i got about 3 weeks ago. It has 195000 on it. So it does this weird thing. When im cruising along the rpms drop. if you floor it it pulls out just fine. It only does this when its been idling or just started. Now the guy before me hacked the cat out. I have a check engine light on and it says a misfire and o2 sensors. So ive changed the plugs and the wires are in perfect shape. There actually 7mm edge pros. I also ran injector cleaner through. So is this an o2 sensor issue or fuel pump. If its an o2 sensor will replacing it work? I dont want to spend the money to replace it if it just keeps going bad!

For those of you that have trimmed your front fenders, what did you do with the plastic fender liners? Did you just remove them and throw them away? I'm getting ready to trim all my fenders and i wasnt sure what to do with them.

Removed them and threw them away long before I trimmed my fenders.

Meant to ask this earlier.
I have a small crumple in my unibody on the passenger side about 4 inches from the front of the unibody. I dont have any creaks, etc. It just looks like someone took a hammer and beat the unibody in about a 2 inch diameter. I dont think its much of a big deal..other than the holes not lineing up with a winch bumper. I plan on long term plating the unibody.
Do you think this would be an easy fix? Should I try to pull it out or just weld plate over it?
