Can't remember

    JKs have a problem where the car will start, run for 3 seconds, and then die.  I have that problem but I can't remember how to fix it.

    any ideas?

    Reminds me of using a non-chipped key.

    Thanks. This is one of the many crappy Jeep reliability items.

    about 5 years ago I had an ignition problem and the replaced all the related electrical, and my keys.  This was one of those original keys apparently.

    Lovely.  I should make a list of all the problems I've had on this jeep in my almost 23,000 miles of ownership (9 years)...

    I have to agree with John. If you did the Hemi swap, you would need to change or reprogram keys anyways, right?! 😀

    It's clearly because you don't drive it enough! So it's fixed?
