99 Jeep Cherokee Sport starts then shuts off
Tried starting my vehicle this morning and it would start up fine, then after about three seconds it would shut off. I have three different keys, two which are jeep manufactured and a third that is a Strattec. I tried all three of them all with the same result. Please help if possible!

Does it shut off cleanly? Or does it stumble, run rough and then die?
With a consistent shut off time of 3 seconds, that could be an issue with a security system disabling the ignition.

Gauges and everything come on fine, car starts just fine, it does however shut off pretty cleanly. I'm leaning toward there being an issue with the security system as that is what I've read quite a bit today. Does anyone know how I go about fixing that issue?
