something wrong with throttle
I recently replaced fuel pump and fuel filter and my jeep runs great but after a while of driving when I press the throttle to go faster it doesn't wanna do anything but choke itself out, any help?

I would run a test on the TPS when it is cold and when it is hot. There could be some heat related tolerance issues that are causing it to bog down. I would also clean the throttle body wile you are in there.

1996 jeep Cherokee 4.0 ho and I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter and the pressures are where they need to be. it runs good idles well, just after a while of driving the throttle goes down but doesn't put anything to the wheels it just stalls itself out so I let off the gas and slightly push the throttle to keep myself going
