The other day I was driving and all of a sudden my 89 Cherokee started idling down and cut off. It was fine for the first mile or two. The next morning I noticed a large amount of anti-freeze underneath. I got that fixed, along with draining what was too much oil out of the engine.
But its still doing it. Its like after a mile or two it stops getting gas. Could this be an injector?

I'm just guessing, as sometimes when the headgasket blows, coolant flows into the crank-case raising the oil level. Does the oil dip-stick or inside the oil filler cap look like a milk shake?

Lots of oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil is most likely a blown head gasket. Fix that, then if you still have the stalling problem, troubleshoot that. I'm guessing whatever is causing you to have oil in your coolant is most likely causing your stalling problem as well, because that is definitely a BAD thing.
