Default When cold engine cuts out at low rpm.

So here recently my jeep has started acting up. When it sits for awhile and cools off it cuts out bad for about the first minute of driving. I can't hardly go past 2000 rpms. Once it starts to warm up it does fine. I had issues sort of like this a few weeks ago and it ended up being a bad map sensor. I have replaced cps, iac, map, upper o2, new plugs wires and cap. Any idea what it could be? The battery seems to be going bad and plan on replacing that in the next day or two.

Thanks

It's a 97 Sport 4.0. So it could be the temp sensor? Where exactly is that located I am not familiar with it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.....

Have it scanned for codes by a parts store before rushing off to buy something that supposedly fixed someone else's Jeep.

Ya I was not going to go buy it just was unsure where it was. The cel light does not work (haven't had a chance to check it since I bought it) I may try taking it to autozone to see if it throws any codes at them. I replaced the battery and that didn't do anything.
