1995 ZJ 4.0 Stalls at Idle, but not driving

My Jeep starts fine cold and runs great on the freeway. When I get off it dies at the first red light.

if I’m idling it in the drive way it’s fine until just after the thermostat opens. Then immediately dies.

New fuel pump, filter, map/maf sensor, recent tune up and CPS. I cleaned the IAC, but thinking I should replace it.

I just moved and most my tools except basic hand tools are in another state.

looking for all advice, suggestions or similar experiences. Would an intake 02 sensor cause it to die like that?

Pulling some codes might help. Autozone will do it for free. It's a pretty basic service, but it's better than nothing. If it's the O2, it should show up.
