93 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4.0 engine and automatic trans. When weather is cool car runs fine but the warmer the weather gets the more the engine misses. Doesn't matter if climbing hill or flat road. I have replaced the two temperature sensors on the engine and it didn't make any difference. Thanks Bob

What about the ignition system? What have you done there?

Are you able to isolate which cylinders are misfiring? Is this a constant, dead miss?
What do those plugs look like when removed?

It's pretty difficult to make any kind of diagnosis in a situation like that in this format. It's one of those things where a picture is worth a thousand words and your description doesn't tell us a lot.
Somehow we need to isolate whether it's fuel or ignition triggering this.

You'll have to hook up a fuel pressure gauge and rig it so you can see it while driving.
There should be a service test port on the fuel rail.
The spec is
Key On, engine running 214 kPa (31 psi)
Regualtor vacuum hose disconnected 269-283 kPa (39-41 psi)

When i replace sensors I personally reset the ECM, may have old info saved from bad senser... When air is cool, its denser wich allows more to flow in using the same volume... when the ambient air is warm, it expands wich in turn means less air flowing into your engine at the usual rate... so with that being said ima throw out there a MAP ( Manifold Absolute Pressure ) valve possibly.
