Heres the problem, it first started out with my check engine light going on about 20 miles after i put my new clutch in my car. So i went to make sure all of the plugs were plugged in and then i looked at the rear o2 sensor and the coating on the wiring rubbed off and i figured something may have shorted out. From there we put in a a new sensor and it didnt fix the problem. My uncle's a mechanic and said if you touch the negative to the positive it resets the computer which we did and now the lgiht is off but will go on after i drive it for a day or 2. Itried both of the tricks to get codes when the light was on and the one with the odometer worked but no codes came up. For the first ten minutes i drive my car i either have power or dont. I put it into first gear and as i let off the clutch my car shakes back and forth until i put the cltuch back in. Sometimes i can get to 2nd or third gear but when i hit the gas the engine doesnt even revv of and i hear this popping noise and evetually i get power back. My dad thought maybe it was the throttle or idle sensor but we werent sure. All of the fuses are good and we cleaned the throttle body out. After that while sitting at a light my idle gets really shitty to where it will damn near die out then go to where it normally would be and then idle just higher than normal then go down again. I recently changed the plugs and the fuel pump is new about 7 months ago. Any ideas and or help would be great, once i get the light to come back on im going to get the codes read at autozone. all help is appreciated because i need to get my jeep running. Also should i change the upstream 02 sensor?
