Its in the fuel tank-no required maintenance-if you wish you can replace it.

FUEL FILTER/FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR Removal (Cherokee & Wrangler) 1. Fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator is mounted in gasket on top of fuel pump module.

Back by the tank but I highly doubt that is the issue. I would check the fuel pressure checked first.

Look for vacuum leaks and check the idle control motor for sticking.

Filter/regulator need to lower fuel tank

The jeeps moved them either into the tank or on top of it and have combined them with the fuel pressure regulator.

Post back if you still want to go after it.

You may want to post a pic of it. I don't know off hand what style it is exactly. All of them have tabs that have to be released to get them over the llip on the nipple.
