I have a 1989 cherokee with a 4.0 and auto trans. When I drive it and try to come to a stop the engine stalls out, it seems to only happen after it has run for a while. Anybody got a clue of where to start? Thanks everyboby!

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try eliminating any vacuum leaks and cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
