TPS?
Maybe your O2 sensor?
Did you have a look at your plugs, wires, cap and rotory button? But I'm assuming you have the 4.0 instead of that crappy GM 6 cylinder given your year and all lol....

i would agree. check for big intake leak, check the fuel pressure if you have the capabilities. bad fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, bad or really dirty injectors...basically anything that could starve fuel, or too much air
how many miles? possible timing chain has stretched? maybe a dirty IAC?
im just throwing ideas out
