Default sputtering/dying/not starting help plz

I have a 1994 XJ Country and it recently started sputtering while driving down the road and has slowly gotten worse and now dies and wont start up for a bit after and i cant seem to figure out why. Ive replaced the spark plugs, wires, fuel pump and filter, and its got new oil and such too. Anyone have any ideas of what i should check next?

Unfortunately I don't know a check, but that's my knowledge. Some of these guys can probably tell you. Id say replace it but I don't know the extent of your mechanical skills, doesn't take more than an hour to replace the dizzy though.
