99 4.0l ax15
problem: stuttering/ hesitation, similar to misfire, wants to stall, bucking, sometimes hard to start or keep running when the symptoms pop up.
hasn't stalled while idling in driveway yet, will drive normal for a bit then stutter and buck some and generally make it so I can't drive it for fear of not making it home
new- less than 500 miles- some less than 5 miles
mopar CPS for manual trans
IAC-oem, cleaned a couple months ago
TPS- mopar/no change
champion plugs
duralast gold wires
napa coil
battery
every ground wire is new bigger wire/ refreshed
front o2 sensor
Catalytic converter is original but nothing rattles when I whack it
tested fuel pressure several times times and was within spec each time- 49 psi
never a check engine light
distributor
pick up sensor/ camshaft sensor/distributor switch plate whatever you want to call it -the sensor inside distributor( I think its from autozone though)
distributor itself
I've read tons about changing cps, fuel pump, filter, coolant sensor(this valid?) and a million other things but I haven't figured it out yet. seems like I've replaced almost the whole jeep, I'm sure I forgot to list some things I replaced.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

I also put an auto ECM in, started, drove, still stuttered. got a code p1698 (no comms with pcm, no biggie because ax15)
pulled plugs, all looked good. cap/rotor looked good to me as well. I've wiggled every wire I can find and nothing bad happens.
I got a code for p1391 (Intermittent Loss of CMP or CKP Loss of the Cam Position Sensor or Crank Position sensor has occurred) once but it went away all on its own. both sensors are new but maybe I should get a mopar camshaft position sensor and try it?
or get a new IAC?
any ideas? really need to get this vehicle back on the road. running out of ideas.

Anybody know of a write up or of anybody selling rear storage boxes like the old Lido ones. I found a thread a few months ago but I can't find anymore. I'm wanting to make a little storage bin the goes over the wheel well on the passenger side rear well and that also utilize the little random pocket in the side interior trim. I'm wanting to build something like this but made of metal. I saw a thread somewhere but can't find it anymore. If anybody knows any links that would be great.
No, I don't lick fish.

Electric windows
I have a 2000 jeep cherokee.
I can operate all windows from drivers side switches. The individual switches on passenger side and both back windows dont work. Where can I start and how common is it.

Very common. The lock switch in the driver side panel shorts out. There is a proper fix somewhere, but mine started working after I disassembled the control module and sprayed it out with compressed air

Will the door panels on a 97-01 Cherokee fit the 86-96 doors? Just curious I can get a set for free and was planing to do a 97 front door swap anyways but was wondering if the back ones would fit
