Default Sluggish Acceleration

I have noticed sluggish acceleration with my jeep cherokee sport lately (6 cyl. 4.0L). It happens especially when the engine is warm and when trying to push the engine to get on the highway. It also makes a kind of garggling sound when I push the gas. I have tried fuel injector cleaner but it did not help. Any suggestions? Thanks

you could have a bad exhaust leak, it makes the jeep sound horrible if its bad enough.
