Default Stalling issue

Help.


97 Cherokee 4.0 idles rough at stop and stalls upon acceleration.


Tried so far on advice from others (bad move), in this order
- New fuel pump assembly
- Cleaned and then replaced IAC valve
- Replaced manifold gasket - this was done after testing by spraying starting fluid along gasket. Idle severely affected when I hit #6 cylinder. Still does it after new gasket.

Inspected manifold closely when preparing for new gasket. Looked perfect.

Gotta be something sucking air if spraying with starting fluid changes the idle. Cracked vacuum lines or anything like that?
