Can you save the stall with a fast right foot>?
my wild guess (no engine option stated, so...2.5L 4.0L or?????.)
EGR sticking open, (if it has one)
flooding, (spark tips soaked in raw fuel?)
starving. (is it?) for fuel? same test as above, but bone dry. cranked.
bad spark test spark, is it good on all cyl.? ever do a tune up this decade?
does cranking (opr.guide secret trick) with wide open throttle start the engine?)
opr guide trick to , does 10% applied throttle help starts
yes, then the ISC may be stuck closed.

stalls are cause by 4 things, (but 50 reasons)
1: lost 12vdc to EFI system. (see dash go dead or lights dim?)
2: lost compression, hot. Id bet not... on this car.
3: lost spark, easy tests. same way for 100 years. a test spark plug.
4: bad fueling, this puts you in the 50 reasons way.
but we dont go there, we do the tests, if you get to step 4.
ask for tests. (have many, all in fact.
#4 test, read the spark tips....... they talk to you.

do the for gotton 60,000 mile tune up now....
spark parts and filter....

SOURCE: The jeep dies while driving it, then won't start.

I had the same problems with my 95 Jeep GC Ltd. I had the crank shaft position sensor replaced (just under $300) and now it runs fine.

could it be that the catalytic converter is clogged? The pressure will release over time, but eventually will build up back pressure as it runs stalling the engine.... then taking up to an hour for the pressure to release enough to start again.

When you start the engine, put it in reverse a strong odor of exhaust can be smelled, backing out from a parking space, then putting it into drive it will shake violently and die, then it is hard to r

Check if your exhaust or catalytic converter has a blockage. You may need to disconnect the exhaust somewhere before the cat. Or try taking out the oxygen sensor and run it for a moment. It will be noisy, but if it runs better, the cat is probably plugging up.

The jeep dies while driving it, then won't start. if it sets for awhile, it will start back up and run as if nothing happened.

I had the same problems with my 95 Jeep GC Ltd. I had the crank shaft position sensor replaced (just under $300) and now it runs fine.

Go's half mile and dies.

First I would say less than a $1000 would have repaired your original issues,assuming there were several. How was it running and did the current problem start after all the work was done? Also, what you invested in money and parts ,I hope went to fix different issues.
