88 Cherokee 4.0 stalling

Hey everybody. Recently the jeep has been stalling alot, but other times it runs. We got it about a two months ago running perfectly, changed oil and spark plugs and was running great. Just the other day though it stalled pulling out of the driveway, but then drove fine (in the neighborhood). We thought it was gas (sensor is off) so we filled it up and let it idle for a bit and it ran fine for a little. Then today it stalled while driving in the neighborhood again. Starting to get a little worried, anybody have any ideas?

TIA,
Andy
 

I'm thinking its the injectors or fuel lines somewhere in there. I guess the fuel gauge sender was sticking again and we didn't know it was about to run out, so I think its probably sucking up all the crap in the tank. I'm going to try running some seafoam through the gas and then filling it up and trying again.

It also only seems to do it a really low speeds and turning, like into a driveway.
 
but completely stalled? Remember its my girlfriends car and the last thing I want it to do is to stall while driving. I put about a 1/4 can of seafoam (in a few gallons of gas) and it didn't stall tonight on the drive home (in the neighborhood) so idk. My friends dad suggested disconnecting the fuel line and using an air compressor blow out all the stuff in the line (if it is in fact clogged)

Thanks for the response :)
 

This may be a shot in the dark but my 90 jeep used to stall and it turned out that the catalytic converter was bad. Fixed that and haven't had the problem since. Maybe something to check?
 
We're going to try the fuel line thing one of these days. I'm thinking thats what the problem is because after the seafoam it hasn't stalled since, maybe it spread it out some but it still must not be flowing as well, still a little rumbly. If that doesn't work I'll definately try that next, it probably could use a new one anyways. Thanks!

Also got new metal in the back and rust-proof spray on top of that, with a layer of rubberized coating on top of that. Then we got all new carpet padding and we might redo the interior a different color :)
