Default 98 4.0 cherokee not starting help please!!!

Ok so my wife was driving my jeep a couple of weeks ago and it was driving great one day and the next she got into it to leave and it started misfiring really bad so when I got home I checked the distributor cap and rotor bug and they were shot so I replaced them ever since I put the new cap and rotor bug on it just cranks over and won't start... So then I checked coil pack it was shot so I replaced it, still no start, then I checked the codes and it was p0320 so I replaced the crank position sensor, still no start! I read somemore forums and came to the conclusion that it could possibly be the distributor pickup so guess wat I did. I replaced it and still no start! I have wat I believe is good fuel pressure and plugs and wires are all fairly new... Any help would be very gratefully welcomed.

What brand CPS, some are trashed right out of the box. Before you spend any more money check the fuel pressure with a gauge.
