Hey guys, new to the forum. I am having some issues with my 05 Jeep Liberty. I have been driving it daily for about 3 years and it's never really giving me any major problems I couldn't figure out until now. So about a month ago the radiator sprung a leak in the top driver corner and was spraying coolant out. I parked it until recently when I replaced the radiator and went for a drive. That's when it started running funny only well accelerating. The engine kind of sputters in and out for a moment then starts to clear up. The more acceleration the harder it does it. It seems like a fuel issue. I looked for a fuel filter and read some forums. Needles to say I just replaced the fuel pump assembly. And I am still having the same issue. I noticed however it seems to only do it once it warms up.
Where should I start next?

Coil packs got wet with coolant probably. Use compressed air to dry inside coil pack & top of spark plugs, see if that helps.
When was the last time you replaced the spark plugs? Change them every 30k miles anyways.

Coil packs are about a year old. Coolant was spraying kind of at the back of the driver side head light. Plugs are probably over 30k. Will change plugs and wires tomorrow. Anything else I can cross off the list of possibilities?

I haven't plugged it in. I don't own a scanner and to afraid to brake down trying to take it anywhere. Lol. Trying the old fashioned way of replacing parts till it works I guess. Figured the jeep guys may point me in the right direction. The guy at the auto parts store was saying possibly the evap system. So far I changed the fuel pump. I can't find a fuel filter and have read it's built into the pump. Next I will do plugs and wires as suggested. I replaced all the coil packs fairly recently because the coolant tank leaked right on top of one and ruined it. did not do full tune up at that time though. I did run some cleaner in with the gas hoping if it were a dirty injector that would sort it out. It also sat from some point in mid December till a few days ago so if anything was wet from the radiator leak I'd assume that's enough time for it to dry out? To me it seems like a fuel issue but I really don't know because it seemed to be worse once warmed up.
