jeep tj stalling

does it die when you give it gas ryan?  does it idle fine?  but when you step on it it bogs and dies?

did you get your distributor wet when u washed it?

it idles fine and drives fine for about a kilometer be for if dies, no mater what speed i am going it dies in the same distance, my distributor is sealed( i sealed it when i did my snorkel)

would the coolent temp sensor do this you think because i just changed the thermostat and had it all apart?  and after i changed it i washed the engine to get the coolent off

i'm at a loss to what it could be

I had a similar symptom. Turned out to be my starter. Something to consider.

it starts fine

Your distributor is sealed ?  The air inside there gets very hot and in ionizes and then it quits sparking.             if you want to water proof it run a vacuum line to the distributor and a supply line from your air filter then  WHEN YOU GO SPLASH IN THE WATER HOLE THE DISTRIBUTOR WILL NOT CREATE A VACUUM WHEN IT COOLS OF AND SUCK WATER IN.

is that like, Canmore slang for you're gonna fix your crap? 

theres a real simple solution if the dist. is sealed;  there should be a breather valve on the top of the distributor. (most do) pull it and run some tubing/hose, whatever straight up. that'll act as  a breather and keep your dist. sealed.
you can also get real fancy, pull the cap, and tap a fitting into it and run the same kind of tubing upwards.   i've done it many times with success.  try that first Ryan. its cheap, and easy!

I have a buddy from venezueala who used to race offroad back home, they do these cross country rally races with mostly toyotas, lots of water involved.
He told me they would run a line to the distributor that was hooked up to a small compressor in the glovebox or similar, and whenever they went through deep water they would turn it on.
According to him you could pop the hood in water and watch a stream of bubbles escape from the distributor vent.

fuel pressure is like 45, 47 i have a picure of the gage but can't get her on here

i don't think the fuel pump is the problem

Another potential problem with a sealed distributor is condensation (water) cant get out. GM's Optispark system is a classic example of that. Google "GM Optispark" for either problems or fixes. It will give you some well documented & proven ideas that can be translated to most ignition systems.
