Default Not accelerating

Hi guys,

I have a 1996 Cherokee Classic 4x4 4.0 with the AX-15. Not often, but sometimes when I go from a stop to a quick acceleration, the jeep rolls slowly then after a second or two it pulls hard as it should (if my foot is still on the gas). I noticed a crack in my exhaust manifold...could this be causing the issue? New manifold ordered already but wanted to know if anyone has a technicial answer as to way it would/wouldn't do that.

As a side note it almost feels like it's out of gas for a split second when it happens. Been happing since I got it a few years ago. Seems to be worse when it's cold outside.

Other mods I've done (nothing crazy):
Neon fuel injectors
63mm throttle body
Swiss cheese airbox
Brown dog motor mounts

New parts since 2014:
Water pump
Several tune ups
Ignition coil
Fan clutch
Radiator
Alternator
Starter
Thermostat
Fuel filter
Catalytic converter 2.5"
Cat back 2.5"

Thanks!

Likely the TPS, not signaling that you are accelerating. Fuel pressure is worth checking too.
