So i got the heep back from the local auto repair shop (orchards automotive), and well they couldnt get the jeep to die on them at all. I was told everything was looked over (grounds, sensors, wires, etc). They also told me my CAt Conv was toast which i knew already. He tried explaining to me that sometimes when a cat is fried that it can clog the entire exhaust temporarily long enough to stall out the motor. Ive never heard this so any other helpful tips would be appreciated!

So on the way to taking it to the muffler shop it died on me again. I pulled a spark plug wire off and it fired right up. Coincidence? Anyways made it to the shop got the cat replaced and now it seems to run a little bit better. Better throttle response at least, ran like a top all the way home. Hopefully this fixes the problem.

Just try a new TPS... Mine was surging and bogging but wasn't throwing a single code -- tuned it up, thew on a new TPS, and it ran perfectly.
If you're careful during installation, you might be able to return the new TPS if it's not your problem. =P

How about describe the stall.
Is it just dying immediately like you're turning the key off or is it spitting and sputtering before it dies like it's running out of gas?

Does it usually fire back up pretty soon afterwards or does it have to cool down completely first?
I'm assuming this is in a 96 XJ 4.0?
