Psi sorry haha

That's nice to know, but doesn't say much when you try to diagnose leaking injectors. You want to search for something called a leak-down test.
The thought behind this, is that you measure fuel pressures after you shut the engine off. The speed and characteristics of how the fuel drops, will give you valuable information.

I gotcha

Might try pulling each injector, looking for the one with a wet tip. Or you can pull the entire assembly, rail and all and set it on some paper towel, then turn the key to build pressure while looking for leaks.

Did you walk away for about 30min after getting this reading, and come back and re-check?
doing this will tell you if something is leaking. Leave the gauge hooked up entire time.

No I didn't. Autozone checked real quick for me, I do not have the kit to test it. Maybe I can rent it

I would be leaning towards a marginal battery well before looking into a fuel issue. A marginal battery may have enough charge for lights and other accessories, but can not hold a charge to keep the engine running once it is started. Autozone can load test your battery for free, even if yours is new it could be causing a problem.

It is in no way electrical. Plus I have a new starter, battery and alternator I'm golden haha i don't think a faulty battery that decides to act up rarely can cause my motor to stutter and have rough idle for a solid 45 seconds then be fine the rest if the day. I'm almost positive it's a fuel issue. Just not sure exactly what, gonna go back to autozone and see if I can rent the tool they used to test the fuel pressure

It would be good if you could have the gauge on there at least 30 minutes, like suggested.
You want to see when it starts dropping and how quick, It will almost give you the answer to your question and where to look..

If I recall you have a 94 jeep Cherokee right. I have a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee why not check your ecm there was an issue with the ecm going bad. I sometimes had a hard start never found out why. The idol was a little rough at times it would stall out randomly and backfire I replaced my computer and it runs great the computer is behind the over flow tank check the connections on it be Carefule I don't want to be responsible for any issues the solder joints inside the computer like to break or something and can cause a bunch of problems like one day my jeep would only crank and not start with my other issues I had a new computer put in I have not had the issues again runs fine with the engine on carefully jiggle the 3 connections in the computer if the idol changes or it backfired or stalls the computer will need replacement.

I had a similar issue for a bit after a trip to the sand. I could keep it running if I kept giving it a little gas but it wanted to die. I had to replace all my injectors with new out in the dunes. (And lucky me I got a bad one out of the box and one other one had a different number from the other 5. Good ol' Napa) Figured we'd just misdiagnosed it because it was acting the same, swapped which vehicle was on the trailer and drove the 13 hrs home in the Rickety-Rig. When I got home it turned out it really was the injectors (one was dumping fuel constantly). Good luck and hope you've solved yours by now.
