Default My Jeep is jerking

It runs good, most of the time. But sometimes while driving down the highway it jerks or lurches. Sometimes just occasionally, other times, one after another. There seems to be no rime nor reason to it.
Also some times when I'm driving very slow it will die, but it always starts right back up. Any suggestions?

Yes. Before doing anything else, click on the link in my signature and do posts 1 through 5.

How old are the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor?
