1999 cherokee starts and runs fine then idles rough and dies

If the start and run fine are on cold starts, I would look for vacuum leaks. The normal start mode for these things is to have a richer condition upon a cold start. When the ECU detects warmth in the engine is drops the extra rich cold start mode then the idle goes rough due to the normal mixture being too lean due to a vacuum leak. Look for cracked, loose or broken vacuum hoses. It could also be due to a EGR valve stuck open.

Engine starts and idles fine, but will not rev up (2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.1 diesel auto)

If it was a fuel shortage the engine would rev but to limited speed. This is a lack of air to throttle body. Check for clogged air filter and all the piping and the throttle body.

1999 jeep cherokee wont idle cold

The iac would be my first guess but this troubles me as the when the engine is cold all the sensors are ignored until the fuel system goes into "open mode" but to change the iac is simple 2 screws and unplug the module and instructions come with a new one to tell you how far the air pintle is supposed to be set at,
If you can change your own oil than this is easy.
I did rebuild wrecked vehicles for about 15 yrs and gave it up as back in the day we never wore mask's and hacked up to much hardner so now I just fix them,in a chrysler,jeep dealership of course.

Jeep will start but not idle when it's cold out

You have a cold start injector. It basically primes the fuel into the engine.
It`s like the old type `choke` systems.
Get it checked at an auto electricians.

I had bad oxygen sensors do this.
Check it out with a scanner before replacing it.
