Driving down the road this morning and the jeep all of a sudden lost power and was pretty un responsive. It sputters and bucks under normal acceleration to the point of not being able to drive it. If you give it full throttle it will rev up like normal and take off but anything short of that it feels like its only got 3 or 4 cylinders. It cleared up a couple times for a mile or two and ran like normal during my 25 mile drive of limping it home. What are your thoughts?

Ok so ive come to the conclusion that this has only happened when it has been raining out or during a snowstorm when the roads are nasty and wet. It has run fine since this happened friday during the snowstorm. So it has to be an electrical connection somewhere that when it gets wet it causes the engine to stumble and run like crap. What sensors or connections would be able to do this? Im gonna check the crank sensor connection and give it a tune up here so what else should I check out?
