Why would it smell like starting fluid. Are you the only person that has access to this Jeep.
CPS connector is usually the problem I wouldn't have replace the CPS until checking the connector first.
The next thing after CPS would be the Distributor. But can get expensive throwing parts at it.

Just unplug it and plug it back in.
No need to replace it the connector is known for getting degraded over time.
The top left pic shows the connector side of it.
