Fuel or spark. There's still plenty of oxygen in the atmosphere. You need to see which of the other two dropped out.

I had a jeep with a aftermarket distributor that would do that,

I had paid someone to replace it one time, and they changed some parts inside of the distributor,

needless to say, one day I went to turn the Jeep off, and it kept running!

when it did run it would cut off randomly and blow up the distributors internal parts,

you have a wiring problem...... I think.
