Give a bit more information please.. Does it miss at 1000 rpm? Will it get to hiway speed?
How does it miss? Does it pop and crackle?

What kinda voltage is your coil reading? Maybe you have a dying battery, a bad plug wire, or a bad coil.

at idle it runs great but as soon as your get going it pops sputters dies and it really feels like it's not getting gas. then i put it neutral rev up the motor and get some kind of responce but not much. a friend said it was clogged injectors and one said it was the o-rings so we changed them but nothing has helped

could it be a bad fuel pump?

Popping occurs when there is fuel and the spark gets cut on and off.. I'd betcha money it ain't a fuel problem.. Most likely a coil or in extreme cases a simple lectric tune would do the trick.

Coil is good. do you think it could be the catalytic convertor? when i push on the break and give it gas the jeep sputters and almost dies one of the guys at the part store thought it might be the convertor, what do you think.

Stopped up exhaust will cause an extreme slowdown...I've never heard of one causing sputtering.
COILS cause sputtering.. They should be replaces with every new set of spark plugs.
