Please help the Jeep will not start. 2008 Sahara manual with107k miles.

I have power. All electrics are good and powered.

Two days ago I was driving around a bend in rural PA and the abs light and traction light popped up for a second. I thought maybe I took the bend to quick. All seems fine when I shut her down. No other issues

Went to go to the store and I jumped in and tried to fire her up. Press the clutch, turn the key and my fat fingers slipped so the ignition wasn't held long enough, or so I thought. So I tried again, she cranked, ran for 2-3 seconds, and died. One thing I will say is the engine didn't feel right, felt weak.

I tried to plug my Bluetooth OBD2 port chip in and the damn thing will not connect so I can't read anything.

We checked airbox for dirt/water, clean. Checked plugs and leads, all good. I'm really at a loss. Is there any known issues someone can help me out with? I'm stranded on the rig so getting a tow truck is gonna be expensive.

 

Are you sure the battery has enough power to crank? It is possible for a battery to power electronics but not have enough juice to crank.

 

Try tapping on tge fuse box in front of tge battery

 

Starting and shutting down after 2 - 3 seconds is a symptom the wireless control module isn't recognizing the transponder in the key.
Pull up on the white plastic fuse holder to unplug the 2 fuses in the holder. After a few seconds, push the fuse holder down to reconnect the fuses. This will reset the wireless control module. If that was the cause, the engine will start and keep running.

 

12.6 volts on the battery.

 

Sorry Ron not very good with the electrics. Where is the fuse located? Also I did try using both keys and she won't start now. Not even crank.

 

Finally got my superchips to connect and got this.

 

are both battery terminals tight ?

 

Yes they are. I also disconnected and cleaned them.

 

If disconnecting the battery didn't fix it, pulling the fuse holder I mentioned won't fix it, as either action will reset the wireless control module if it needs resetting.
