Sounds like it. I don't know how the Jeep will react to the sensor being broken, but supposedly without a chipped key, the Jeep will still start and run for a few seconds, then shut off.

You're getting closer Crash. The Tonka will live again. I know it.

I checked the part, and it is the Keyless Entry Module.
Um, yeah. I don't have keyless entry. Unless you count the fact that my doors stay off. Lol.

FinIshed column.
Repaired/reinstalled starter.
Motor started, made loud awful noises, smoked, and died.

What's my next step?

This may sound a little stupid, but Tonka was underwater for a long time, you may have water (at this point maybe dried mud) plugging your exhaust. Have you pulled it and checked yet? That would cause the motor to backfire/smoke/make awful noise as the exhaust pressure builds and tries to escape back up into the engine thru the cylinders.

Im not sure what good more people will do working all at once, but my knowledge of this vehicle and its problems is limited, so experience and technical advice would be helpful.

Everyone is also welcome to come and not help.
You can cheer me on, make fun of me when I cant fix it, or just hang out.

We will be cooking this for anyone who is hungry:
