Here's some info as it sound like the theft deterrent is armed.

---
Reset Procedure

NOTE: This information applies to a Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) that was armed when the battery was disconnected and reconnected.

When the armed VTSS senses that the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it enters its power-up mode. In the power-up mode the alarm system remains armed following a battery failure or disconnect. If the VTSS was armed prior to a battery disconnect or failure, the system will have to be actively or passively disarmed following a battery reconnection.

The power-up mode will also apply if the battery goes dead while the system is armed and battery jump-starting is attempted. The engine no-run feature will prevent the engine from starting until the alarm system has been actively or passively disarmed.

Passive disarming of the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) occurs when the vehicle is unlocked using the key to unlock either front door or the liftgate. Active disarming of the VTSS occurs when the vehicle is unlocked by depressing the Unlock button of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.

Once the alarm has been activated (horn sounding, lights flashing, and the engine no-run feature), either disarming method will deactivate the alarm.

Depressing the Panic button (if equipped) on the RKE transmitter will also disarm the VTSS, but the horn will sound and the lights will flash for about three minutes as part of the Panic feature. The horn and lights can be stopped by pressing any of the RKE transmitter's buttons or driving the vehicle above 15 mph.

SOURCE: I have a 1993 jeep grand cherokee limited and this

Jeeps have a part called the crank sensor, when working properly it senses the electrical feild produced by flywheel. This crank sensor which is located on top of the tranny bell housing has been known to go bad. When this crank sensor goes bad the CPU does not get a crank reference and the computer will not fire the injectors. This crank sensor will fail under high temps and if it is old will fail also when cold.
You have to find out if the injectors are getting a pulse when the car does'nt start.

SOURCE: truck cuts off while driving down the road.

Replace the TFI module. Ford back in 1986 thur 1993 had problems like the one you wrote about. TFI module gets hot and shuts car or truck off then when it cools sometmies starts and sometimes not.

SOURCE: The engine has no compression,when try to start

Hello osmanmackoy; My name is Roger and I will help you. First have you done a compression test? If so the compression must be over 100 psi. in order for the cylinder to fire. This would be a bare minimum. I would also look at the oil pump drive unit. This would be located where the distributor would have been on the older engines. There is a sensor mounted on the top of the drive. Remove the sensor and check the inner shaft. There should be no side to side play in the shaft.If the shaft moves side to side You need to replace it. This sensor is used by the computer to tell what cylinder to fire. The computer will not know which cylinder is next to fire. This will cause a no start or backfire condition.
Please rate the quality of the answer given as this way we know the answer was helpful. Should you need further help Please just ask . Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

My grandcherokee limited 1999 wont star it crank but dont start how i can disarm the anti teft sistem

i would look under the hood for the security system, and then disconnect the connection to it. that is if they installed it there, since you stated that your jeep won't start, i would 1st check the starter relay switch normally located in the power distribution box under the hood on the drivers side. if this doesn't cure the problem after it is checked or replaced, i would then check to see if the engine is recieving fuel, this will have to be done by usuing a fuel pressure tester, that will have to be hooked up to the fuel rail connection on top of engine, it has a small nipple cap, then remove the cap, then hook the tester up to it , and have someone crank the engine over a few times in order to view the fuel reading on the tester, if it is low, or none was present, then problem would most likely be the fuel pump, and it is located inside of the gas tank.

Last night I stopped my 1994 Jeep grande cherokee v6. Went out this morning and the engine turned over fine but it was as if it was not getting gas or a spark. Similar to when the security system goes into...

When the security system cuts the ignition, it lets you know.
So it was probably the fuel or spark instead.
You need to check rail fuel pressure with a gauge, and check current to coil with test light.
It could be a simple relay like for the fuel pump.
If you got no dash lights, it could be the ignition switch.
The ignition or fuel control module could be bad, but Autozone can check them if you bring them in.

Not sure why you disconnected the battery to replace plugs, but try locking and unlocking the drivers door using the key. That should re-set the security system.

1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee will not start. When

Check your fuel pump ,fuel lines,.One of the most overlooked starting causes is fuel delivery. Find the fuel rail to the injectors. Assuming you don't have a fuel pressure gauge, remove the dust cap on the fitting on the fuel rail and press the center pin in the valve to see if there's a good amount of pressure for a very brief second. There will be no continuous pressure unless the engine is running or is being cranked over. Have somebody crank it for you for a second to see if high pressure is present.

If not, first look at the fuel cutoff switch usually located in the inside stowage compartment of the vehicle. See if the reset button clicks when you press it. Next check the fuel pump fuse and relay, and finally the pump itself could be bad.

My jeep wont stay running.

Jeep has an anti theft system that will actuate if the battery goes dead or if the battery is replaced. You may just have to unlock the driver's side door with the key. This sounds weird but I have seen this on a couple of vehicles. My brothers 1993 jeep would start and imediatly stop after running the battery down while listening to the radio all night. While jumpstarting the jeep we ran into this problem and He solved it when he unlocked the driver's side door with the key.
I have also seen this in a 2005 Nissan pickup truck where a man at a gas station had just got his truck and for some reason his security system would not let his truck start it. It would not even fire when he was trying to start his truck' I remembered the situation with the Jeep and sure enough when he unlocked his driver's side door he was able to start his truck. I do not know what caused his truck to do that to him.
