Default Zj wants to die on me

My Zj been having the problem roughly a month, decides it wants to randomly die out on me, and had a hesitant start. replaced fuel pump already and Dosent seem like fuel issue. Sometimes it runs fine but other itll hardly run and dies out. I was thinking maybe distributor? Vaccum leak? Help please

Mine had a somewhat similar issue... Would idle pretty rough sometimes and the check engine light would come and go. Stalled out a few times too. OBD Sensor said O2 sensors - they didn't work; turned out to be bad wiring.

Engine light isn't on it was awhile but I had took the battery out and it turned it off for inspection. It mainly died at a stop idle or putting it into gear. When in actually driving it Dosent really give out much

Hooked it up to a scanner and didn't pull a code, put when I run the ac it hasn't died out "yet" but still having a hard time getting it started and when it first starts there is like a surge of air coming through the intake and it's rough idling until I hit gas an it goes away
