Having prob w/ 99 cherokee

[Noel Jackson]

After driving a good 50 miles w/ no prob my jeep started to have probs. When I hit the gas a little it would start to sputter, I stopped to check things out & it started back up fine & would idol, but when I hit the gas it bogs down & then stalls, and now it will idol for a min or so then stall, does anyone have any idea what could be wrong
I NEED HELP

What year? What Model? What Engin? Could be a host of problems, leaking or broken vacum lines, backed up cat, bad fuel filter.......

But need more info.....

it is a 99 cherokee 4.0L straight 6 cl.
I am thinking it is a prob w/ the fuel filter, or at least hopeing, but when i hit the gas nothing happens the lights dim then it sputters a little then stalls

It sounds like a fuel problem, first I would replace the fuel filter(cheap)and if its not, you can rule that out!

BTW the filter is on the inside of the frame rail, just in front of drivers side rear wheel. Just in case you didn't know!

DID the filter fix your prob. I have a 99 xj 4.0 and have the same problem. Any other ideas??
