You mean its sputters? Have you done the simple things like added some injector cleaner to the gas on a fill up (try this a couple of fill ups) what brand doesn't make much difference I used the Ctc brand. When was the last time yu did a tune up? Could be bad gas too, try another station and NEVER gas up when there is a tanker delivering fuel.. if this is the only station near you then wait an hour at least for the dirt that might be in his tank to resettle at the bottom. Might also be a small hose that's cracked or not on tight (check them under the hood) Do you have any CODES??

Canada Re: 97 jeep Cherokee bucks like a bronco when you speedup

after changing almost every sensor and the jeep running worse every time i changed one , i decided to change the cam positioning sensor today . i took the distributor cap off, witch was brand new . first thing i had done was cap rotter plugs and wires and when i lifted the cap up the carbon cap tip was sitting on the cam sensor and spring was hanging from the top of the cap .. i almost ---- my pants !!! ran down town bought new cap jeep runs fine ,, did the ---- cap i bought go before or after i replaced the throttle position sensor
map sensor
crank sensor
oh ya a new coil
a lesson learned ... spend the hundred or so to diagnose the problem
