I started my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo this morning and there was a popping noise- as I drove sounded like a popcorn machine in engine. Was told it might be altenator belt by friend- now transmission light is on and will start but wont turn over. Is the motor blown?

You won't know much until you get the computer scanned for trouble codes. Most auto parts stores will scan for free in hopes of selling you some parts.
If I understand your situation, you are saying the engine was run with one quart and you added 2 more quarts of oil. Now you have 3 quarts which is less than what it takes to make it full. On some engines it takes 5 quarts of oil. You will have to check the dipstick to see where you are now compared to the full mark.
If it is still less than full, it may cause some noise, but depending on how long you ran it with the oil low, how hot it got and other unknowns, you may have a serious problem. Try adding oil to the fill mark and pray that after you run it awhile the noise will go away. The noise may be the lifters trying to work with little or no pressure. It is possible that after the oil top off and a bit of driving they may pressure up and start working again.
sounds alot the the pcm it controls the fuel pump and ign system but the anti theft would keep it from starting because the key has a transponder in it programmed for that vehicle and that would kill all ign if triggered
check to make sure your spark plugs are working. If you unscrew the plug and hold the plug to the engine exhaust manifolds and turn the car over u should see a spark. if you dont then the plugs are bad
Does the noise sound as though it is coming from either the front or rear axle and does the noise change as your speed increases. If so it sound as though your axle is whining requiring overhauled if really bad.Common problem
