This is your issue....
Call a jeep building place in your area and ask them for their best recommendation for a jeep mechanic shop.
Call those people and tell them you are bringing in your jeep and you want them to go through every wire on every connector going into the PCM. Tell them to repin the bad pins in the harnesses and to replace what ever broken wires they come across
Dewd, my stalling jeep was killing me. I replaced everything the Net said to do and still the same bull****. It wasn't until someone took the time to inspect every wire in every harness on the PCM
This ran me about $400. It was the best money I ever spent on repairs for a vehicle
I had all the same symptoms as you and was pulling my hair out. I have not had a problem with it dying since.
Don't let a mechanic tell you where they want to start looking. Tell them to inspect the harnesses. If they say you need this or that, ask them point blank... did you inspect all wires in my harnesses? when they say no, tell them you will talk about what they think after they complete the task at hand
you wont be let down
repin harnesses at pcm

Old fart with a wrench
I have no idea what you're talking about. Is English your first language or are you just too lazy for good sentence structure? Texting from a smartphone are we? I saw this post when you first posted it and I decided to not answer it because I didn't want to make any assumptions or try to decipher your answers. I STILL can't figure out what you have done or plan to do.
If you plan on keeping this WJ, I recommend downloading an FSM from pacificcoastmanuals.com for $7.99. Best money I ever spent!
