It seems more like a worn driveline part or tire imbalance.
x2 on the tire imbalance. Tires out of balance usually have a wobble zone depending on severity and placement. I.E. between 45 and 55 mph

Jack it up and spin the wheels/tires, look for any out of roundness, that'll do it too no matter how slight

Sorry for the delay...I got stuck working 16 hours yesterday...I checked it out, and yes, it does struggle a little bit around 20-25 MPH, just nothing as severe as the higher speeds. Suspension was actually just fixed a couple weeks ago along with "new" used tires being balanced and aligned. This made no difference. The Seafoam may have been completely irrealavent, I just like to provide as much info as possible! Still sound like the Throttle Position Sensor?

Not sure if a driveshaft u-joint would cause this, but it wouldn't hurt to check it if you haven't.

Hey so for those of you who don't know I have 3 xjs, the black jeep which has been my donor vehicle, the red jeep that has been my off road toy / work truck for the last 8 years and last week I bought the silver jeep. It's going to be my new work / play mobile. its a 2000 xj, not to crazy about the idea of coil packs but it is what it is right? So I was messing around under the hood last night actually changing the purge valve when I noticed a module on the inner fender right up by the fire wall. My other 2 jeeps are 99s and they don't have it. The wiring to it is totally factory. Any ideas about what it is? I did a quick search but I haven't found it yet
