Default 1998 Cherokee Stalling after starting

I have a 1998 Cherokee I just bought and it runs great so far. However when I first start the Jeep and start driving it stalls upon acceleration. I can let off the gas and go again and it will stall a little again. After about a minute the stall quits and doesn't return (knock on wood). I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with this (hopefully) small issue. I have cleaned the throttle body and replace the IAC valve but to no avail. I'm convinced it is something simple but I just cannot figure this one out. Any help is appreciated!

Do an ignition check to see if there is a bad component like a bad rotor or cap.

Yeah I forgot to mention that it has new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Anymore suggestions?

Fuel pressure check and then you will know if it is ignition or fuel..

Pinch off your return line at the tank. If it runs then replace your pressure regulator.

Most are solid steel lines so be careful if you follow Mykal's recommendation.
