Default 2007 grand cherokee 3.7 L stuttering at 2000 RPMs rough idle replaced a lot

I replaced the throttle body
plugs
coil packs
injectors
map sensor
knock sensors
unhook the battery for 24 hours
Fuel pressure good

she runs fine until it gets up temperature sound like a starving for oxygen, when it idles rough I pull the hose from the brake booster it will smooth out the idle.

Under small load at 2000 RPMs you little stutter about 3000 RPMs she takes off here is a video can somebody help please.

This is a video of my Jeep running like crap at 2000rpms the light comes on and then at 3000rpms she runs amazing

2007 Jeep Cherokee 3.7 L
Cherokees were only built up to 2001, and were never equipped with a 3.7L engine.

You have a GRAND Cherokee. It's not a variant of a Cherokee, it's a completely different vehicle.

I could not get to the plug for the sensor so I cut the wires and it runs extremely well now. There is an error code and the check engine light but it runs smooth and good.

The dammm o2 Sensor bank one. It fouled out all my plugs. I cannot get to the sensor or get it out. I cut the wires and Wala she runs smooth now. I will eventually have a new one installed but for now it’s great to see the old girl run like a new car.

I don't know where your O2 sensor is located, but you always want to use heat to remove one. Either drive the vehicle for 30 minutes, or use a torch around the bung. Also, a special O2 sensor socket is highly recommended to avoid rounding it off and creating a nightmare.
