1993 Grand starts and dies
I have a 1993 Grand, base model, 4.0L, auto trans. I recently washed the engine bay at the car wash and blew the 20A pcm fuse. Installed another fuse and heard a "pop" from pcm followed by electrical smoke. Trailered home and installed a new Standard Motor Products pcm (p/n 56027762). Motor starts and dies. I determined the injectors stop firing after the key is released. Ordered another ecm from a rebuilder that programs to the actual vin#. It does the same thing.
From all my research, it appears the pcm is in security mode. Problem is, my Jeep does not have security. I understand that a pcm from a vehicle with security can not be installed in one without. However, I'd like to think the remanufactured pcm memory has been "cleared".
I'm at a loss. I don't think of any other component that would disable the injectors when key is released. It's also not real likely I've received two defective pcm's.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I called tech support where I received the second pcm. They immediately admitted their mistake and overnighted me another pcm. Installed it and fired up on the first crank.
So if you need to install a new pcm in your Jeep w/o security, make sure you talk to the supplier and they understand that you need one without security. If you buy one from a parts house, it's a roll of the dice.
