jeep issue need help diagnosing

hey everyone i know this isnt a jeep forum but everyone here always offers great information. im a member of jeep forum and from what ive seen if you post an issue on there they either refer you back to the common problem threads or you'll be left with probably 30 different reasons why your jeep is screwing up.

anyways...got my jeep back from the shop today for some rear end work, make it home fine. taking it around for a test drive after it stalls. starts back up if i hit the gas a little bit while turning the key. driving around more, it gets worse. if i rev the engine to 2.5k in park, the rpm needle will just come straight down to 0 and stall. start it back up again it fires up with a little foot on the gas, drive around mess around with some electronics like flip the heat all the way on...it stalls again lol. that was weird im not sure why it did that. sometimes also the rpm needle after i hit the gas goes from .5k to 1k back to .5k.

im thinking its a fuel issue...since i got it i havent done anything with the fuel system. if anyone thinks its anything different let me know. either way i can guarantee it could benefit from a new filter or at the very least some fuel injector cleaner. are there any tell tale signs of the fuel pump about to take a crap? any input would be great guys thanks a lot.
