Please be fast about checking your fuel pump. It is not giving enough fuel pressure.

This Jeep starts missing (chugging) at about 45 mph. What would cause that? Replaced plugs etc.

run the fault codes. check the serviceability of the cat converter as it may be broken inside and blocking the exhaust

My 94 jeep wrangler feels like it chugs and misses when i hit bumps. Possibly fuel line/injectors or spark plugs?

If there is no check engine light coming on, this could be hard to diagnose. IT could be the crankshaft position sensor. I doubt that it is fuel related because it is an instant response to a bumb

1994 jeep wrangler 4.0 idles fine but when traveling cuts in and out and backfires when accelerator is pushed, i do have a cold air intake and jet performance module just recently added

1994 Wrangler with 200,000 miles on the odometer. Similar problem here: Severe bucking and backfiring, and engine misses when traveling down the road. I did an entire tune-up (plugs, wires, distributor, distributor cap, and ignition coil), but got the same thing. I thought it was dirty fuel injectors, so, I poured a bottle in a few times on fill-ups. The final solution, was a bad alternator. My mechanic said it was sending voltage spikes to the computer, causing the engine bucking and back-firing problems.

1994 max. starts fine, but has a puttering sound coming from the tailpipe, engine idles a little rough, when driving it has a miss throughout the driving range. Fairly new wires and cap and plugs and...

That could definetly be the problem.
But they also had a problem with the wire harness that runs along the RH passanger side shock tower. wher the harness goes from the body to the engine. sometimes the wires get broken internally.
To test this theory , start the car and grab the harness, wiggle it and bend it around with both hands while listening to the engine to see if it changes better or worse.

1994 Jeep Wrangler starts fine runs for a few minutes then dies.

I'm not sure if your Jeep has this or not, but you could check with your local Chrysler dealership. Some vehicles have a sock filter in the gas tank to filter any debris before it is delivered to the engine. What sometimes will happen is, you vehicle will start and run until debris clogs the sock filter and it will die. After the vacuum on the fuel line is gone the debris will fall free from the sock filter back to the bottom of the gas tank. Then when you restart the vehicle it picks up the debris again and clogs you filter again. This happen to me once and I have to remove the tank and clean the debris out and install a new sock filter. Good luck.

Backfiring and loss of power

'till you do some in depth testing of all systems, I'd place equal weight on every possibility. Make sure you cover the basics like fuel filter etc before getting crazy with it though. Also check cap. rotor, coil and wires. Idle cylinder pressure is different than that encountered when driving. This additional pressure will cause ignition spark to seek a better easier ground,(not the spark plugs where it should be going) causing missing under load.After checking , if you haven't found anything, its time to begin testing fuel pump pressures, modules and controls.
good luck
