The Jeep should run OK without the catalytic converter. The 1995 year only has one oxygen sensor in the exhaust and it is before the CAT. If the 1996 version has one ahead and behind, it will not run well without the CAT. I have gutted the one on my 1995 and I have noticed and improvement in mileage but it is a bit louder. May want to check to see if Chrysler will warrant any of it if the ceramic plates inside the cat have fallen loose and are blocking the outle to the CAT. This is a common problem on these. Rather than replacing the CAT with a test pipe, remove the existing one and gut it (if the body of it is good shape. You can gut it with a long screwdiver and a hammer. Make sure you wear a dust mask.

Jeep Cherokee check engine light?

Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem I own a 2001 Jeep Wrangler with a 6.0 Engine and I had this happen to me just 2 weeks ago. My number 2 injector was bad and was flooding the engine with gas. It ran horrible. DO NOT DRIVE your vehicle if you have a flashing engine light, as you can destroy your catalytic converter. I had my injector replaced and all the O rings changed and she runs great! I had this done at the dealership. Also, if you look in your owners manual, it will tell you about this warning. Hope this helps you!
