Car will not accelerate when gas pushed

I drive a 99 Jeep Wrangler Sport. Yesterday, it wouldn't get above 15 mph no matter what gear I was in or how far I pushed the accelerator. Any ideas what's going on?

    Add a CommentIf you stop in at an Auto zone store they can check for any soft or hard codes that could help with your problem. And they don't charge for that service unlike a dealer or garage.

2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport extreme shudder at 40 mph- if I press the gas-pedal and get the RPMs to rev, the shudder ceases, only to return once I am back down around 38 mph-41mph.

which engine the 3.6? v6?
that shudder is called MISFIRE.
get a tune up yet, even $1.49 spark plugs?
no its not the trans,
if it dont slip, its not trans, (see RPM races? that is slip or too low gear)
if it shifting to the right gears, its not the trans can you count them?
is the CEL lamp glowing or flashing driving, is yes, that means
scan me now. in fact scanning while it shudders, is like (magic)
why start guessing, do a tuneup,
then scan it.
if its is misfire the PCM will tell you what cylinder misfires.

are your spark plugs 6 years old, if yes, why?
going for 200k miles on them.?
