93 Jeep Cherokee Running Rough

[bbbyblumer]

I have a 93 Jeep Cherokee that tends to jerk while going up a hill!!...This has proceeded to get progressively worse! Any suggestions will help.
Thank You

What are your mileage/engine/transmission?

Does it do it at low speeds, high speeds, or all speeds? Does it do it when you start out from a stoplight on flat terrain?

Mileage:200,000
Engine:6 Cylinder
Transmission: yes
It does it while accelerating

Ha, very funny!! Manual or Automatic was what I was looking for.

I like to start with the simple stuff first:

First thing to check -- Spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor. If these haven't been replaced in the last 30000 miles, it's time. Also, check the condition of your plug wires - if they're cracked or otherwise in bad condition, replace them.

Post back after checking these items...
