I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty Renegade with ~97,000 on the odometer. About a month ago, a few days after I had my clutch bearings replaced, my check engine light came on for the 2,2 O2 sensor; so basically an error with the passenger side O2 sensor after the catalytic converter. I replaced the sensor and after around 50 miles the check engine light turned on again. I then replaced the plugs and got another new O2 sensor and again, after about 100 miles, it’s back on again for the same error code. I have heard talk about this being caused from a failing fuel pump, which is failing to pump enough fuel to the engine. However, this seems counter intuitive, if this was the issue I would assume that both banks would read an error. So, before paying a mechanic to rip apart my rig and repair/replace things that I have already done myself; does anyone have any ideas that might resolve this issue?

Is it only the MIL (check engine light) or do you have other, assorted indicators illuminating or making noises?

It's just the standard orange illuminated engine icon, nothing else.

Yeah, I think the catalytic converter might be an option, drove around with the light on the first time for about two weeks before I had the time to replace the O2 sensor, so my procrastination may have caused me to cook my cat. Also over the weekend, I went to start it and it sputtered and died. Had to wait 5 min before it would fire up... I've never had an issue with it starting before. But I guess when it rains it pours... I’ve never had any problems with the vehicle since I bought it besides the regular upkeep, but this year alone my water pump, power steering pump and clutch and clutch bearings crapped out on me.
