Just pick up a 1995 4.0 Automatic NP231 Cherokee. On it's maiden voyage from Flagstaff to Tucson it began to cut out and then lost power altogether. CEL lights up and flashes a code for an O2 sensor failure. I open the hood to find that due to some poor planning, that the oxygen sensor had occupied the same space as the front driveshaft. The driveshaft got a little carried away and beat the poor peaceful oxygen sensor into submission. Now there are suits being filed claiming "Driveshaft Brutality" and "Use of excessive torque" all while my new to me Cherokee is sitting on the side of the freeway. So here the real question, Will a catastrophic O2 sensor failure cause an engine to shutoff and then subsequently not start?
Cliff Notes
-1995 OBD1 4.0 Auto NP231
-Cherokee dies on the freeway.
-CEL code for Oxy Sensor
-Oxygen Sensor is broken in half.
-Car will crank, but won't start.
Cause and effect? or do I need to look elsewhere?
