I think I'm getting out of my league here. I am probably going to
take it to th dealer. I have a third party warranty which I hope the
dealership will honor. A loaner would be nice if it's going to be
more than a one day repair job.

It's late, so I left the dealer a message. Hopefully they'll call
back tomorrow and I can get this taken care of.

I've also considered washing my Jeep. I hear washing a car improves
engine performance.

It may improve the aerodynamics, but the weight of mud on a Jeep improves
traction. Your choice. ;-)

If you have the security key, your jeep will start and shut off immediately if
the chip in the key has gone bad. Mine key chip failed and stranded me. I now
always carry two keys. Try your second key to see if that solves the problem.

Re: Jeep Engine Stalls Just After Startup *SOLVED*
 

As it was suggested months ago, the problem was a bad battery. I
never had any low voltage problems with the engine running and didn't
pay that much attention when it wasn't running. Well, I was at a
cemetary of all places on Saturday and when I went to leave, it
cranked once or twice and then [clickety-click] nothing!!

I was lucky enough to have one of the groundskeepers to offer to give
me a jumpstart. While I was waiting for him to trade the golf cart
out for a standard street vehicle, I noticed my voltage indicator read
10 volts (engine not running). As soon as I got a jump and the engine
started, the voltage jumped up to about 13.5 or so.

Needless to say I was relieved at the apparent lack of any problem
with the alternator. I threw my jumpstart pack in the back and headed
off to Pep Boys where I got a new battery. It took about ten minutes
to install the new battery and everything works fine now. This thing
idles like a purring kitten since I put the new battery in. Had I not
been so lazy and just gotten off of my butt and had the battery
tested, I could have saved a lot of worry and agrivation.

So, the moral to the story is... the next time I have any problems
that might in any way be related to the battery, I'm yanking that
sucker out of there and having it tested right away. My
procrastination caused me to worry when I could have just identified
the culprit (and I can't imagine an easier place to start than with
the battery) and been done with the whole matter.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR RESPONSES AND GOOD ADVICE!!!
