Sluggish driving and horrible idle after oil change.
I just did an oil change on my 1989 Jeep Cherokee and for some reason it is acting really weird after. when i first started it up, it didn't wanna stay going. It idled really low then died and keeps on wanting to do that, i tried to drive it down the road and back and it is really sluggish, does anyone have any suggestions? i am currently clueless since it never did this the last time i changed the oil out.

I used 10w-30 and only 6 quarts, although i bought a 5.1 quart container of oil plus an additional quart, put all of the 5.1 quart plus about 2/3rds of the other quart.

Cruiser, you mind weighing in here since the question has been asked? This is far from my area of expertise. I'm fairly good with suspension; shyte with motors.

The amount of oil is not the issue then. What did you bump in the process that is causing the issue? poke your noggin under the hood and check electrical connections and vacuum hoses/connections.
