First and foremost you should periodically change the fuel filter just as preventative maintenance. I usually change mine around 30 - 40,000 miles, usually around the same time I am changing the differential fluid.

If your Cherokee is giving you symptoms (ie normal idle and then sputters and stalls when you give it gas, or even a rough idle and sputters) Pull the filter and and blow through it, if it gives you a decent amount of resistance, replace it. Which is also a good way just to check it periodically to make sure the filter has not been plugged by rust and stuff from the tank or foreign contaminants you may put into your gas take and the pump.
