Default Jeep running weak/rough

I drove up to the mountains the other day, and was heading home going uphill and it seemed like the jeep topped off at about 50 miles per hour. It was a steep hill, but it got to a point where I thought that it wasnt even responding to the accelerator. The rest of the drive back, the jeep seemed to be running weak and rough. I know that is very general to say, but in the last two days, it still seems to not have as much ***** when I step on it a bit. Both my oil pressure and temp were fine according to my dash, but maybe those are messed up. There are no weird noises or anything, just not running as smooth as before. Any idea what this could be?

Now is your engine running fine and your response from the rest of the drive train sluggish or is the whole thing sluggish. Also check your fuel pressure. If its low you have a fuel system issue
