Hey guys im kind of at a loss at the moment. My 90 xj runs fine for a while and randomly stalls and doesnt really like to restart right away. Ill wait a few min and it will restart kind of hard. Ive refreshed all the grounds, replaced the crank sensor, TPS, cleaned the TB, new distribuitor. I heard you have to adjust the TPS I havent done that but with the new TPS the issue remains the exact same. What else can I test?

Find Cruiser54 Renix tips for TPS adjustment, link is in his sig. As for the CPS, what brand did you put in? Aftermarket is notoriously unreliable with these.

You didn't mention a rough idle in your post...
But yes, a rough idle could be IAC related, but not so much related to random stalling and then hard to start.
IAC can be cleaned.
