Ask the Question Thread
I try hard not to be. Causation/correlation doesn't always add up and I'm learning you can find a connection if you want to.. Finding a legitimate source with good citation is hard to come by an there's so much misinformation in the media it's absurd... I digress, but I'm with ya.
The data is out there if anyone is interested in forming their own opinion, but this really isn't the thread for it. Let's both go ahead and get back on topic.

I bought a 1993 Cherokee Sport 4.0L and it has started sputtering at idle or when i stop. it only does it when its warmed up and ready to go. The exhaust has a hole between the 2nd and 3rd O2 sensor so i think the hole is causing the engine to misfire or shut down a cylinder all together. I plan to do a compression test on the engine just incase of cracked gasket or blown gasket all together. Please help. Sorry i do not know very much more than this.

Have you done a simple tuneup yet, including new spark plugs and cleaning the throttle body?

When i get it out and about it doesn't sputter at all. but when i come to a stop at a stop light ect. it will sputter until i take off. I am thinking about replacing the exhaust and throwing on a cherry bomb glass pack. i am hoping that o2 sensor will no longer pick up the exhaust leak

...wait. your going to replace the exhaust, but theres still going to be a hole in it?? also your gonna catch some grief for the cherry bomb idea. They sound like ****. Super 44 might be a better choice..
