89 xj starts but stalls out after 20 seconds. low rpms.
So one day I left the key on standby and came back to it the next morning dead so I just swapped out the battery and went on my way with no problems. Next day the battery was dead again(killed the second battery) so i got a jump and ran to Wal-Mart as quick as possible to buy a 3rd battery. It started up and died about 3 mins later and now stalls after 20 seconds or so every time it starts. Recently I've replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, battery, and just today the alternator and I've checked to see if I had fuel leaks along the lines and there was nothing. I even thought about my air filter being clogged so I removed it tosee if it would make a difference for the time being and nothing.

Can you use a voltmeter?
