I know theres a lot of similiar threads but I havent found one that touches on my issue.
I have a 1995 xj 4x4, I was recently driving on the frwy and lost power. I got to my destination and shut it off. I tried starting it again and nothing. It got towed home. I started troubleshooting and found I had no spark, after replacing the CPS and still nothing I took to the forums looking for answers. I learned how to check the engine light counts and it (kinda) led me in the direction of a possible cam sensor. I removed the distributor and found that the gear had been polished smooth. So I figured "Hey" thats it. I replaced it and fired it up. It started but it still has no power, missfires and stalls. To pre answer any questions, I replaced the coil, checked all fuses, checked fuel pressure and even did a compression check. Any help would be awesome. Im about to replace the PCM but hate throwing parts at things.
Thanks........

checked the plugs, fuel injectors have been rebuilt in the past 5k and the engine has 5k on it. Some of the sensors are old though. Not sure about any of them besides what I have replaced.
