Its most likly the IAC Idle Air Control valve. They tend to get stuck. Take off and clean and make sure it moves good. If you need to replace it with a new one.

The 4wd is probably a miss adjusted shift linkage. just go under and readjust.

I had the issue of my 89 wouldn't stay running and it came down to fuel injector issues ..... if it did stay running it would barely drive or if you did get it out of the driveway when you hit the gas it worked opposite where it would wanna kill unless you hit HIGH rpms
