it just started happening today and from doing my research and hearing all these guys haven to buy all these sensors before they figure it out was maken me worry so i havent done anything but what the advance auto parts guy said bc i cant throw money at my jeep for a couple months but if it was the ijectors it would do it cosistently wouldnt it?

ok so today i replaced my distributer cap and button and wires and spark plugs put lucas fuel injector cleaner in and took aprt and used connector cleaner on allll conectors going to the engine and was still having the problem then cleaned my throttle control motor still had the problem then diconected everything leading to the MAP sensor and it seemed like it was idleing rough but i drove it around my neighborhood and nothing then drove the big circle around my neighborhood and she still didnt do the hesitation but im still worried that i didnt fix the problem< does it sound like it could be the MAP sensor or does it seem like i should still change out sensors
