What year is the Jeep? Is it like you turned off the key and everything resets or like the engine has a blip?

I'm with knuckles, see what the plugs are gaped at. Could definitely see this being a problem. If you don't have a go-no go gauge to check then autozone has them for like 10 bucks. If it still acts up monitor misfires using your trinity. Also see if it has any pending codes.
