i just put i new map sensor and it will start as soon as you give it gas it will die
OK, sounds like you had more than one problem, one being the MAP sensor. In my experience the TPS is the next culprit, but you might want to test this first as the O2 sensor or CPS (CKP) can do it too. The TPS can be tested in several ways with an analog volt meter. I would disconnect the wire harness from the O2 sensor next, and see if the problem goes away with it dying as you give it gas. That will tell you if the O2 sensor is causing the dying.
Also, a hair dryer to heat up the CPS, and an ohm meter to test the CPS would be next.
If you don't have an analog (needle indicator, not digital) volt/ohm multi meter, you should buy one (about 15 to $20). It is the best tool around for troubleshooting the 87-90 jeeps.
There are many threads here on testing these parts with a volt meter.
Just out of curiosity, did this jeep get wet under the hood, like water or coolant on the TPS, MAP, O2 sensor?
