1997 Cherokee, automatic 152k, 231 tcase and so on...
So my CEL came on the other day with the P0132 O2 sensor code. It went away after awhile, but popped up again. Today while driving through town I came up to a stop light and while sitting there, the RPMS did a quick surge from like 800-1000 for a split second and the Jeep felt like it wanted to surge forward. It did it about 3 times with 5-9 seconds in between surges, light turned green and I was on my way. Came up to the next stop light, didn't do it's surging at all.
Prior to this happening, when the CEL came on the first time, right before the light came on the Jeep felt like it lost power for a brief second but power resumed. Same thing happened today when the CEL came back on, slight loss for a split second then light came on.
Are these issues related to the O2 sensor being bad and the engine running differently?
My cat converter also needs replaced. Sounds like it's got a lot of loose baffling inside. I noticed that when driving, at stop light etc it's more noticeable than when in park. I got to my in-law's house and was listening to the cat converter, when in park I could barely hear the baffling noise, got back in the Jeep, foot on the brake and put the Jeep into drive and the baffling noise was a lot more noticeable. I also noticed that when I put it into park from drive, there is a slight rev in the engine then goes back to normal idle.
I've only had the Jeep a few days and still working out kinks but would like some feedback on these little issues.
