Question Throttle behaving strange

I have a 1998 Cherokee sport. It has 237,000 miles and is my everyday driver. It drives well but in third gear around 2000 rpms it has a delay in acceleration, until I press the pedal about an extra inch, then it leaps to 3000 rpms and continues to accelerate. The cooling system is fine, I recently did an oil change, and this problem started about 10,000 miles ago. Help.

Possible that your TPS is developing a dead spot, not unheard of.

Automatic or manual?
