Hey I need help, and I am getting really low on patience. I have been chasing down one oil leak after another, and now my Jeep is having more issues. I thought it was a crank sensor. That didn't help much. I put in a new O2 sensor, nothing. It's my DD, and I need it to get back and forth to work. I can nurse it there and back every day, but it's getting to be annoying, because it used to drive great only a few weeks ago.

I would be glad to pay someone to help me track down what is wrong. I don't have a mulitmeter, and I don't know how to use one (for the most part) I am willing to drive a long distance if you know what you are doing

This past month this perfectly running Xj has made me want to

I live in Phoenixville, but will drive anywhere around Philly or South Jersey.

Runs ...ok.

Power has dropped of slightly, MPGs are down.

The hotter it gets the more it wants to stall at stops.

I can keep my foot on the gas pedal and it runs smooth at 1krpm (at stop).

Idle varies from 800 to 1100 then back down to about 3 or 4 hundred.

I replaced the O2 sensor, but don't have much money (big surprise) so if someone is good with a multimeter and can help me check my sensors and figure out which one it is would be awesome.

Right now it is at the shop, and has been for about a month, no idea what's wrong. Anyone have any thoughts?
