what is this thing? to me it seems like its keeping my jeep from fully running. just replaced the fuel filter and it studders and dies. had to clip and direct wire it back because it melted the plastic things and burned me pretty good.
just wondering if its a easy fix, if not, Karma goes up for sale.

Hi guys!
The boys down at the gas station messed up, and somehow managed to mangle the oil drain plug, whilst doing an oil change.
The plugīs threads are gone ( luckily it looks like the threads in the oil pan is undamaged ).
My engine is an 2.1L
, and I canīt find a plug thats specific for that engine on neither teamcherokee.com or quadratec.com.
Would a plug from a 2.5L do?
regards,
Torstein
