Default 89 Jeep Cherokee wierd engine problem

So, I purchased a Jeep that runs good. No nocking in the engine, and excelerates well. I can drive on freeway fine as long as I excelerate gradually. I cannot step on the gas or the car will start loaping. What I mean, is it almost like the fuel system is not working properly or it's missing. I've cleaned the fuel system already, spent money and took the Jeep to my friends at JS in LBC and they tested then censor, and adjusted the TPS censor and found that when there was a large load that there was a amp loss at the computer. But now I'm noticing it more and more as I'm driving it. Has anyone heard of this issue before?

Can you perform normal basic mechanical stuff?
