Could be something like a clogged vent line on the fuel tank.  When it dies, try taking off the gas cap and see if you hear a sucking sound.

How long does it take after it dies for it to run again?

Oh crap... I see the problem. You have square headlights! Get that taken care of and it should run just fine. 

J/k of course. Let us know what you find. I've had two yj's so far and both of them drove me nuts. One went up in flames while driving from South Carolina to Pennsylvania and the other was a rusted out p.o.s. that I gave up on. I know there is good yj's out there, I just haven't had the best of luck yet.

shes at the dealership now geting a diagnostic ill post whats wrong when they phone me

[handmade yj]

well well well it seems that theres massive corrotion under my power distribution center aka the fuse box under the hood so it needs to be rewired and thats the problem for all my troubles hmm fer all u guys having wierd problems with your yj electronics look there first mud and water just get tossed straight up there from the tires ill be building a small shield for the bottum of it when i get it backto stop that from happining again 

[dexetr30]

Good to hear you got things sorted out. Electrical troubles can be a p.i.t.a. to figure out imo.

[handmade yj]

note to all members if having electrical problems check the underside of your power distribution center aka the relay box next to the battery these are prone to mad corroution all jeeps are subject to thisjust finished making a splash sheild to stop that from happining again ill take some pics so anyone interested can fab 1 up
