well when my fuel pump was bad, it would not run well and jerked and stuff....so maybe it is the fuel pump.

If you suspect a fuel problem the first thing to do is check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail with a mechanical pressure gauge. You can rent one from any chain auto parts store. While you are at the part store have them scan your Jeep for any other codes that may be stored in the computer.

Yeah get the actual codes so we can help you better.

Like RTorrez said, check the fuel pressure. Other possible causes of stalling include the IAC valve and the throttle position sensor.
