Ever tune it up? ever , or at the 60k mile points?
if not why not.
does the CEL lamp glow running>?
rough idle is called misfire.
stalling can be many things, a mech sees this all in 5min.
here on the form i have to ask many questions (cant drive it)
lets play that out.
1: i start car and ask owner, ever tune it up,: blank stare.
2: i see it dont reach 180F coolant temp,. (bad thermostat)_
3: then note misfire. i tune it up and its fixed. or
4: it still misfires,, i find the EGR stuck open. (listed under service 60k)
5: it still misfires, i find idle too low, the ISC is stuck closed.
i clean the EGR and ISC valve and car now idles ok,
but is still rich , i find the 02 front sensor long gone bad.
it looks like it has cancer.
there are over 50 causes for misfire,
1 or all 6 cylinders. what we do is start with basics and work up.

here are 2 hints on stall.
first off the ECU failed to stop the stall, its programmed to do that
using the ISC .
so it failed to work.
the EGR stuck open will do that every time or idle at 500RPM
and shake the engine hard, misfiring.
or if one cylinder or more is dead.
or if the ISC sticks closed.

so when it seems to stall, pre-stall, as RPM drops below 800 rpm
you use a fast right foot. is it easy to prevent the stall?
easy,save, is isc stuck closed? gummed up.
harder is EGR stuck open, (but you can correct it by hard actions of right foot)?
impossible to stop the stall.?

your mech, does all that action in 5min. flat.
even loss of 12vdc power to EFI systems , do this.
(cant save it) and mech sees dash lights go dead. bingo no DC power, all by looking and seeing. and feeling.

he gathers evidence,


both my 4.0L jeeps, loved to stick the ISC.
every 20kmiles, off it cam and got sprayed with
Klondike gun lube, Dry lube. no oil , it looks like brown paint
and acts like Teflon.
The 4 liter likes to get he PCV oil mist up to the ISC,
this builds a film of gunk on the valve cone inside .
im not saying this is it, but the easy save above is a big clue.

SOURCE: 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport I-6. Runs rough at idle

A VERY Recent Tune Up MUST Be Insured to Properly Diagnose this Discription, If the Vehicle Has Not Had A Recent Tune up That CAN be the Cause of Your Symptoms, If it HAS been Tuned up, then With these Symptome the Check Engine Light Should Illuminate, and If the Light is On It Must Be Checked For Codes and Fallowed up From there. If No CEL Try Changinging Fuel Filter, As This Will Cause Poor Performance Without Turning ON the CEL.

Jeep stalls

try doing the procedure below, should cure the problem.
Here is the common cause of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
