Check the IAC Motor on the back of the throttle body. That is a common problem for Jeeps. Sometimes you can clean the IAC and the Throttle body to solve the problem. Although it could be something else
from a coil,CPS & Fuel Pump. I would start with the IAC and then checking the Fuel Pressure. I got a IAC from Advanced Auto for around $60.

Yup I think Cam hit it on the nose, clean the vacuum ports on the Intake Manifold and Throttle Body, if that don't help, I would start by replacing the Idle Air control (IAC) Valve (motor)
