Default 89 cherokee starting issue.

I need a little help with my jeep starting. When I turn the key the fuel pump turns on, ignition relay sounds like it clicks but I replaced it anyways, I have replaced the starter and still doesn't want to start. It will start once then will not start again for a while. I have an msd ignition on it which is on a switch and worked fine for years. I can jump the starter across and it will start but does not start when turning the key. Let me know what you think please.

Matt

Automatic ? Wiggle shifter up and back while trying to start. Sounds like NSS went out.
