Hey everyone!! Been a while since I’ve been on here. If this was addressed in another thread just direct me. Jeep will accelerate when cold, but after a couple minutes of driving acceleration is sluggish and jerky. After giving a code for the coolant temp sensor, it hasn’t given any more codes. I can hold the brake and give it gas and won’t feel any misfire.

What's the condition of your catalytic converter? Clogged or fouled catalytic converter can limit/choke your engines performance. Usually when it's completely clogged you might get a little rpm out of it but ultimately it limited.
You could remove your upstream O2 sensor to check this

Found cylinder 1 has 85 pounds of pressure and cylinder 2 has 110. The rest are around 130-140. Time to go further down the rabbit hole
