stalling problems 97 cherokee 4.0
I've had this truck for years been a good one. Had to put a new long block in it 275000. it's starts and runs great. pull up to a light or stop sign and dies some times it will start right up. other times it won't start at all. Had the codes run, replaced ignition coil, crank sensor, distributor. still the same. Took it to the dealership to diagnose it. They can't find anything. no codes won't stall while they drove it. I sure would be open to suggestions.
thanks

Have you checked your cps?
mine was stalling like that, sometimes start sometimes wouldn’t. Replaced the cps and haven’t had any problems since.

throttle body cleaning, along with the IAC, is normal maintenance. I would do that first.
