Default '90 Cherokee "Pioneer" stalls/locks at extremely slow speeds

Howdy,
'90 4x4 Cherokee Pioneer 4.0 stalls and locks up the steering wheel when driving at extremely slow speeds...like when turning a neighborhood cul-de-sac or yielding to traffic. It does not stall/lock when stopping at a stop sign. It's just the 2-5mph stuff that gets me. It's a hit-and-miss. Sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does. When it does stall, I have to shift to Park and then restart the Jeep to get going again.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening and how I could troubleshoot this? Thanks!

I guess the first place to check would be crank sensor, throttle sensor and idle air sensor if so equipped. Pretty odd condition though.
