I've had this problem on vehicles with 70k or more miles on them. Symptoms include rough or uneven idle and dying. OBDII showes no codes.

Bad fuel, vacuum leak, low fuel pressure, carbon build up, inoperable fuel tank ventilation, poor grounding, low voltage, intermittent relay contacts are possibilities.

The simplest and mostly likely problem is:
Carbon build up inside the butterfly. With the engine off, pull the intake off. Use injector cleaner and a shop rag to clean the intake throat where the butterfly is. Use a plastic or wood handle to hold the butterfly open to get both sides cleaned. If this doesn't clear the problem, check for vacuum leaks, loose hoses etc.

Check fuel pressure and replace the fuel filter if it's low.

Jeep ???? grand cherokee , wrangler , or just plain cherokee
Without testing we would only be guessing , you don't want to replace more parts an not fix it do U ?????? Do yourself a favor an have a qualified repair shop diagnose the problem . With all the parts you replaced an didn't fix it ,a qualified repair shop would have had it fixed already . I could tell U thing's that may cause the problem , are you prepaired to replace more parts an not fix it .

My 94 Jeep Wrangler sputters and stalls momentarily and smells like gas. What most likely is the problem

Check out the EVAP system to see if you have a broken charcoal canister or cracked vacuum line. Also check for vacuum leaks.. Those would cause hesitation, stalling. Read this post on EVAP

It could be a fuel filter clogged up or it could be a fuel pump going bad. Does the jeep start back up after it stalls? Is there any more symptoms?

2004 Jeep Rubicon lockers dont work when warm. in

sounds to me that you may be having air pump issues, or your having rocker switch issues, I would lean toward the pumps though, just replaced mine in my 03 rubicon and problem solved, also insect the vacuum hoses going to each locker, make sure they dont have any holes/ cracks
