1987 Jeep Cherokee
 

Jeep idols fine when accelerating slowly no problems, but when you
accelerate fast four cylinders stop firing. Any suggestions?

I would first change the fuel filter likely because it is due and second
I would open up the distributor cap to see what it and the rotor look
like.

I also would be checking the air filter because the CCV pipe might have
blocked with age and puked a mess of oil in the air filter which will
choke it out when you goose it.
