You didnt give us much to work with. What year is the vehicle, and what were the codes? What were the symptoms? When you threw parts at it, did you simply replace whatever part the code specified, or test everything first? Many dont bother testing. For example, they see TPS mentioned, so they replace the TPS, but dont test the wiring. Sometimes its the wiring and not the part specified.

A 95 Jeep XJ does not have a limp mode.

If it is running at low rpm and wanting to die, you have some other problem like low voltage, weak fuel pump, etc.
