Default jeep wanted to shut-off after starting.

last night went to start the jeep it started fine and as the rpms started to come back down i could feel it was about to shut off so i hit the gas a little and it came right back to life. It was fine starting in the AM and a few stops today. then tonight i went to started it it did it again and just to see what would happen I did nothing and sure enough i shut off. started it again and it was fine, got gas and it started fine after that.
so what do u guys think the problem is?
