I have a 2005 jeep wrangler 4 cylinder it likes to stall on me when I bring the RPM up fast and stop fast. I can be crusing down the highway and push in the clutch and it will just die on me.I noticed it does this alot more when its wet or raining. Sometimes the oil light pops on for a little bit to. Any ideas?

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try eliminating any vacuum leaks and cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
