Talking 88 cherokee chief xj five speed manual 4.0 l6

Ok forgive the lack of professional terminology but the idea is to keep my question simple so here it is when im driving in any gear i have to either stomp on it or putt at like two miles an hour any middle ground position on the accelerator and this thing sputters like no other and eventually back fires if it sputters for too long can someone please help me thank you for the time

Does it do this only for a little while just after startup, after its been running a while, or all the time?

this will narrow it down some

It actually does it all the time after startup and after running for a while its allways either go fast or put slow like youre in bumber to bumper traffic

I guess a better way to describe it would be saying i cant hold a specific speed in any gear as soon as i do it sputters its either accelerate and left off the whole time or switch gears constantly
