Default Stumbles When Revving

The ol' jeep stumbles when I try to rev it while Im parked. Does fine if I am extremely easy with the throttle but if I hit it kinda quick no matter how far I push the pedal down it stumbles pretty bad at first. I have checked the tps and check/fixed vacuum leaks. I have new injectors in the jeep which didnt help much with the stumbling. Has a new fuel pump as well. Any ideas of what may be going on I have the renix 4.0 with AW4 trans.

Rubbed out a bunch of stuff on the XJ. Waxed it. Repaired the broken off nipple to the rear washer. Planted 2 raspberry bushes, one lavender. Drank 3 beers, cleaned all my micro-fiber towels, ate dinner.
