Default xj starts shutting off when coming to a full stop plus shaking

so having an issue with the xj shutting off when coming to a full stop. basically the xj will start shake pretty violently and the rpm's will start to drop around 500 or so and just shut off. and I can turn it back on but again and go but will drive pretty rough once that happens and then turn off again once at a stop. I changed my TPS but didn't quite seem to fix it. My fuel injector number 2 is bad and I'm gonna change it but could it be anything else? Help is always apprectiated!

Get the injector done.

Has it had plugs, wires, cap and rotor within the last 30,000 miles? Ever cleaned the throttle body?

Update... Same problem!I checked and put a new cap and rotor and tps....I still didn't fix the fuel injector... Can a fuel injector be the reason I'm still out of luck with this?

I don't know, but, does it have anything to do with this...?

FIGURED it out!!!! I forgot to mention that i was having slight overheating...checked and had no coolant going through at all...put some coolant in and no more shutting off! shaking has also disappeared! The idle is still low but I know that's the fuel injector. So my new project will be getting a new radiator since it had a crack. Also noticed my motor mounds need to be changed ASAP since one is completely cracked. And will get that fuel injector done. I'm gonna get the neon 784's since I was looking to replace them anyway!

Thanks guys for the help! much appreciated!!
