This hasn't happened to me personally with my jeep but I have had the problem with other cars. When it does run do you have a check engine light on? When running does it sound ok or does it sound like a jet taking off.. Any engine work done to it like a throttle body spacer? Have you tried to run some injector cleaner through it? Whats your airbox and filter look like? clean?

no check engine light, sounds like it runs fine, it just idles low then kills

Change where you are buying your fuel. All fuels are blended for the area they are sold in. A change in the weather or a bad blend from the supplier can cause this little problem, it's the quickest and easiest check you can do.
