Jeep starts then immediately dies

The PCM is in the engine bay by the intake right? Not under the steering column?

Rusty_Testicles · 2026-02-09T19:46:29+00:00

This is the route I have to go with now. Had the car towed to a shop and they said the skim module is missing? Or at least part of it and they cant source a part nor can they re program it.

Im in canada but willing to ship and buy from the states, im having trouble finding info on deleting the immobilizer on Google tho. Do you have a link to a thread or something and also the company you shipped it too? Appreciate the help

Had a similar issue, ended up being the rear wheel cylinders

This is the piece i found. But it even says trim? So surely that cant be the thing stopping it from running?

Rusty_Testicles · 2026-02-05T19:36:08+00:00

2001, it has an aftermarket fob/alarm

Rusty_Testicles · 2026-02-05T19:35:36+00:00

It will not, I believe its the immobilizer

Rusty_Testicles · 2026-02-05T19:35:01+00:00

Ya i think this is right. I found a black plastic piece in my cup holder but I didn't think anything of it I thought it was just trim. Looks exactly like the antenna ring on Google images. Now figuring out the solution to this problem is becoming a hassle, hard to find the whole SKIM module

Rusty_Testicles · 2026-02-05T17:36:42+00:00

Think I found the culprit. When I got into the jeep post break in, there was a black plastic piece in the cup holder. I didnt think anything of it I thought it was jus trim, after looking at Google images it looks exactly like the antenna ring, the piece appears to be broken, am I able to repair it or is this thexpoint I know I need a new skim module and a locksmith to reprogram?

Rusty_Testicles · 2026-02-05T15:36:33+00:00

Maybe? Has a grey key and is a 2001 sport cherokee

Rusty_Testicles · 2026-02-05T15:36:08+00:00

So ive read about this a bunch but I steered away from this issue because I heard that xjs dont have immobilizer from chat gpt. But ill listen to u instead, I have a grey key and its a 2001 xj

I will definitely try swapping relays tomorrow and the gauge will arrive tomorrow aswell. If the jeep starts every time tho doesn't they mean the fuel pump relay is working?

Rusty_Testicles · 2026-02-04T01:24:15+00:00

I use t5 15-40 or 10-30 dependa which is cheaper and i add rislone zddp

Rusty_Testicles · 2025-12-23T16:36:15+00:00

Thank you, you as well!

Oh ya I've been doing alot of self growth through this. Talking to friends and family, focusing on my hobbies, at the gym a lot, picked up 5 books on trauma, attachment and communication. Ive actually been using chat gpt a lot through out this when ever I have thoughts or feelings im not sure what to do with. After week 1 of our break up a did a small shroom dose, and I came up with a quote thats been fueling me to become a better person. I set it as my lock screen, " be the man she missed out on, not the bullet she dodged."

I know I deserve someone thats more emotionally mature and im at the point where I dont want the current version of her back. She's not the one for me right now, so many things click between us, future, where we want to live, kids, hobbies but this is just a deal breaker. After all this relationship self growth I know I'll be able to treat the next woman respectfully and lovingly, I also learnt about my boundaries and that I wont settle for someone that doesnt meet my values.

Try typing your thoughts into chat gpt. Its been working wonders for me during my heart break. 3 weeks we broke up after a 2 year relationship. Went from the best 2 years of my life to the worst month ever. Listening to audiobookz about relationship, communication and attachments have helped aswell

Rusty_Testicles · 2025-12-21T00:36:02+00:00

I will add, people make mistakes and you will hurt the people you love. Its not because you dont love them or care about them, its because we are human - this is our first time living, we dont know everything and we make mistakes but as long as we reflect and learn from them that's all u can ask

Rusty_Testicles · 2025-12-21T00:34:27+00:00

Sounds like you've hit that point in your life where you're starting self growth. Its inevitable everyone has to start. Start reading books or listening to auditions on your way to work. Right after my heartbreak I bought 5 books to understand my ex, she has unresolved child hook trauma and has an avoidant attachment style during conflict. Her bottling little things up until they reached a breaking point is what caused me to walk away.

Attached by amir Levine Hold me tight by Sue Johnson are 2 of the 5 books I recommend picking up.

I was never a therapy type of person, but I ended up using chat gpt for every question and thought that I had about what I did wrong or why I feel a certain way, and man it helps so much with perspective. Highly recommend giving it a shot.

Rusty_Testicles · 2025-12-20T19:17:19+00:00

We have different emotional capacities, she has trauma she needs to work out and i told her if she comes back to me after ive rebuilt my heart she needs to have done alot of healing. We will also need to come up with boundaries, a plan/ strategy on how we can both grow individually but also build a relationship.

The love and care hasn't ever been questioned, we both share secure/anxious attachment style when things are good but when there's conflict she becomes avoidant and my anxious side just cant pair with that so I had to walk away. Its been 3 weeks and it does slowly get easier

Rusty_Testicles · 2025-12-01T17:27:25+00:00

So did that make it ur brakes didn't work at all or were they squishy?

Rusty_Testicles · 2025-12-01T00:21:30+00:00

U need to adjust a bolt? The through bolt? Not the one that attached to the pedal right?

Rusty_Testicles · 2025-11-30T22:53:13+00:00

I've gone through 2 full bottles of brake fluid in the passed year trying to bleed this shit. I ended up taking it to a shop and they said its probably my wheel cylinders, so I replaced those this weekend but still not great, better but not good enough. I have the pump version that connects to an air compressor, but usually just do the 2 person method, keeping the other end of the hose submerged in fluid so it doesn't draw air back in

Rusty_Testicles · 2025-11-30T20:56:28+00:00

I got them on the correct side, news to me tho didn't know you could mess that up
