Used seafoam>>sucks
you could replace plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, fuel filter, maybe even fuel pump, check vacuum lines for leaks, tranny fluid flush, etc. lots of stuff to check for a hesitant motor.

POS I'm going to try and adjust the kick down hopefull it helps. i also changed the wires,plugs,cap, and rotor so it must be the kickdown.
Before doing anything else, let me suggest something I got from a 20yr veteran Jeep mechanic....
Run an entire can of seafoam through the intake and then immediately shut off the engine. Let it sit for a couple of hours. Then take the jeep to an area you can do this without getting in trouble and do 15 to 20 minutes worth of back to back 3000+ rpm runs. The soak time will loosen up any crap on the valves. Jeep valves begin to rattle at 3000 rpm's, knocking the buildup off. Essentially, it is a poor man's valve lap.
