My 1996 Jeep XJ 4.0 has been having a few problems. For starters its idling week and starts too back up with fuel until i rev it a bit. also when accselerating it will make a knocking sound and then loose power until i lift off the gas and press again and it catches itself and seems to fix the problem. Ive also lost first gear recently and im hoping this is due to a failed solenoid. Ive pulled the codes ik i have an o2 sensor on the fritz but thats the only thing it told me was wrong. im 17 and new to all of this any advice would be amazing.
