Jeep Grand Cherokee Fuse Problem

Hi, my girlfriend tried jumping our 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and put the cables on backwards and she said it
sparked really big.lol She then corrected it and tried to start it. The jeep starts but wont stay on unless you keep the cables attached
and keep giving it gas. Wont idle, just dies.

you'll have to check your maxi fuses to see if one is blown, it may have shorted soemthing else out as well, have it checked out and explain when you take it in what happened.
