Default 98 Cherokee won't start

Does not have any sparks in coil but put a wire direct from battery and starts any suggestions?

Check for blown fuses in the under hood fuse panel. If you happen to find a blown fuse take a look at the wiring that goes to the upstream o2 sensors and see if any of the wires are shorted or melted to the exhaust manifold.
