I tuned it up and threw some FI cleaner in the tank. I guess I need to start jiggling wires?

njbill:need to know whether your situation is a stall during a cold start or hot start or both. There are TSB's on one or more of these situations for our later model XJ's

Typically it will stall with engine warm when accelerating from a dead stop (stop light or whatever). When you start to give it some pedal, it stalls.
Of course it's intermittent. Hasn't done it for weeks now. It only seems to happen when the wife's driving LOL. I'm reluctant to take it in to the shop because I can't afford to just throw parts at it, and it won't do it all the time.

njbill: two possible issues come to mind and they are both sensor related. First one would be the speed sensor, I'm assuming you do not have a check engine light illuminated, and if so I suspect that the speed sensor is still sending a [partial] signal to the PCM resulting in no mil light, the result being intermittent stalling. The speed sensor is located on the back of the transfer case.
Second choice would be the crankshaft position sensor (CPS), located on top of the transmission bell housing. This one cause me some brief headache about a year ago in my 01 XJ when it stalled at nearly every stop light. This situation persuaded me to purchase a code reader and the convenience factor is the best aspect of it. For your situation, I would suspect either one of these sensors and just to be sure I would take it to autozone or advance and have them check it with their code reader-it's free. Even though you are not throwing a mil light a code may still be stored on your PCM...for my intermittent CPS it would not throw a code all the time but it did store the code.
As an aside, what is your mileage & driving habits?

Turned out to be none of the above. Stalled on the turnpike and wouldnt restart. 287.00 later it turned out to be the IAC motor. No codes were stored for anything else.
