Default 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.

What's the fuel pressure in psi?
Did it run correctly before you changed these parts?

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

I see that you replaced the TPS. did you use a Mopar one or another one. The Mopar TPS's are usually the way to go.

So you tested the TPS & found it to be defective?
