Xj accelerating shaking sputtering when I let off gas.

Xj accelerating shaking sputtering when I let off gas.
So i noticed it the other day,
was running late for work cranked it up and peeled out. As i was accelerating without fluctuating the pedal it was revving up and down like it was sputtering or struggling gave it more gas and it made it through to normal acceleration. Thought it was just because i didn't give it time to warm up. As I continued my ride to work i noticed if I let off the pedal at highway speeds it would kind of shake a little and sputter some more. Also if i slowly let off somewhere between a little throttle and no throttle it would do the same thing. I feel like it is a fuel slash spark problem or maybe both. Ive replaced the fuel injectors but not the fuel pump or spark plugs/ wires/ distributor cap/
Am i leaning in the right direction? or am i missing something. I have to drive an hour to work everyday and im wondering if i should be risking that drive. Dont want to get stuck somewhere.
PS It has died on me twice in the past two days which it never does but everytime it has cranked right back up no problem.
Thanks
