I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty. It started jerking forcefully when I stepped on the gas. Luckily, I was just ready to pull into my house. Now it won't go forward or backward, either in 4WD or 2WD. When you give it gas, it doesn't move, then it jerks a few inches and stops. Sometimes it doesn't move at all. I'm guessing it's the transmission, but any other ideas?

I would initially check your brakes to make sure that you're not locked up on one or more disqualifying that you mentioned it's a four-wheel drive make sure your transfer case hasn't messed up and did a partial locker a partial engagement

With any 4WD like this, always move a few feet in the opposite direction when disengaging. If you were moving fwd in 4wd, switch to 2wd, back up a few feet, then go fwd.

First, make sure that your battery is not being overcharged. max voltage running should be about 13.9V. The first code you listed is for the evaporative system test pump. second is for O2sensor malfunction. I'd look for the first problem first and after that is taken care of re-test and see if O2 sensor code remains. Once your codes are identified, you need to test individual components using a decent manual for guidance and a digital multimeter for testing.

Sounds like it's flooding itself. Maybe the choke is sticking on.
Check the air filter and make sure its not plugged.

2003 jeep liberty wont start

Could be the battery, the starter, or a bad connection between the battery and starter.
A mechanic would check for voltage and ground at the starter first.

2003 Jeep Liberty heater fan problem

It is the blower motor resistor. Look under the passanger side dash and locate the fan housing (looks round and black in color. Then locate the resistor it will be in that housing usually withtwo ten millimeter nuts or two simple screws holding it in. unplug the harness to the resistor and remove the resistor. Part store price is approx. 50.00. Note: on aftermarket (not Jeep) resistor sometimes you have to modify the housing a little to get it in. Hope this helps.
