Default 2000 Jeep Cherokee stalling and idleing problem

It seems like everything I throw at it will not fix it maybe you guys can help me out. I'm going to try to be as specific as possible.

If I have driven it a couple times in the day it wont start unless I press on the gas and get it to idle. If I haven't driven it for a day or so it will usually start up relatively easily after turning the key a couple times to get the gas to flow. Once it's warmed up though and I go to drive it it will stall out when pushing on the gas. Sometimes if I've driven it for a bit it will even die if I put it in reverse or drive. Now the times I do get it on the road and drive it, it drives good till I have to use the breaks. Once I push the breaks and then go to push the gas to move again, it will stall out and die on me. I then have to turn the key and give it a ton of gas to try and revive it and get it to move again and it never seems to want to stay at idle and if I let off the gas it will die.

Me and my dad have replaced: the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, throttle position sensor, spark plugs, and fuel injectors.

Please leave me any advice or feedback on what I else I can throw at it to try and fix it, I'd appreciate it so much!

Hey Nick, welcome to the forums!

I have been having somewhat similar issues and have been replacing similar parts as well. I haven't figured it out completely but I'll tell you whats been most effective: Take your time, go over all of the vacuum lines and electrical wires as best as you can with a fine toothed comb. Many times you can hear a vacuum leak just by listening carefully to your engine. I wish I had a solution but like I said I am working through a similar set of symptoms myself, Good luck and I'll reply once I find the source of my issues.
