In the instruction manual it states under certain circumstances the engine will shut off when you use the remote starter. My 08 GC did the same thing because the " check engine" light was on.

I just got my 2018 wrangler. Remote start has worked great until the last couple times. I wondered maybe it was bc I was low on gas. I filled her up, tried remote start and it seems to be working fine now ‍♀️ Maybe it’s COVID
