New to this forum so I apologize for my ignorance of how things work but am always interested in advice . My girlfriend recently started driving her 2006 Rubicon unlimited after a year or 2 of little usage. A week ago it started acting up like it was starving for fuel. It would run a few min and die like the ignition was just turned off. I have done minor maintenance on it and knew there was no inline fuel filter so I instinctively replaced the pump. That didnt fix it so I had it scanned and came up with P0613. Something to do with the transmission! What its doing- runs for about 5 min each morning and dies. Sometimes it will fire up but always dies, either with a press of the gas or put in drive. Sometimes it runs in reverse like nothing is wrong. Sometimes it wont get above 2500 rpms. I am at a loss. So far I have a new fuelpump, battery, cam shaft sensor and clean fuel and throttle body. Any help or what to check would be appreciated.
Help with P0613 code on girlfriends 06 unlimited

Sounds like her TCM (transmission control module) could be going bad.
The common causes of a P0613 code are as follows:
- Faulty TCM/PCM
- TCM/PCM programming error
- Open or shorted circuit or connectors in the CAN harness
- Failed TCM/PCM power source
- Insufficient control module ground
On the earlier models (97-04) the ECM and TCM were two separate modules.
You can either send it to a place like FS1 who will test it, or I believe that in the FSM there is a procedure for testing it.
You can download the FSM for free here:

I will check into this. Thanks agian for your knowledge and path to try. I thought I had one but I will share a photo of her ride with you tomorrow.
