Default Engine cuts off and starts back up

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. 4.0L Automatic 4X4


Symptoms:
  • Engine stalls when stopped
  • Stalls now with colder weather (in the 40's degrees)
  • Does not stall as often when it is warmer
Replaced/Performed:
  • Ignition Coil (After fault on check engine light for ignition coil)
  • Cleaned throttle body
  • Used a spark plug tester on each plug w/ consistent spark
  • Also repaired a leaky radiator
The check engine light also had a fault for Catalyctic Converter which I have not replaced. Any advise on what you may think my problem is?

I think I would address the Cat code before spending more money on sensors.

Clear codes and see what reappears.
