Had the same problem with my 94 Cherokee...no one could diagnose it because it would never act up for my mechanic. Finally, after about 4 visits, and having my mechanic drive the car home, etc., we were able to find the problem....a bad crankshaft position sensor. Apparently these are known to go bad on these vehicles, especially '95 and before. If your stalling is a) abrupt (i.e., electrical, with no sputtering), b) apparently heat related (only happens when vehicle is warmed up, or on very hot days), and c) will typically restart within a few minutes and run fine then I would strongly suspect crank pos sensor. Replaced mine, runs fine now. This particular problem is impossible to diagnose unless the car actually stalls while a mechanic has a diagnostic computer connected...if the car is running, no problem code will come back and no diagnosis can be made. If you can't get it to act up for your mechanic, you could roll the dice and replace it to see if it fixes your problem. (about $60 in parts, $110 in labor, at least in my area).[addsig]
