Unhappy HELP!!! 1997 Cherokee motor problems

I have a 97 Cherokee 4.0l with an aw4 automatic. I went to pull out of a parking lot and it died. No stutter no hesitation just died. I have fuel, spark, and air. So far I've replaced the crank positioning sensor, distributor cap, and rotor. Still nothing.. Anyone have any ideas?? All help is appreciated.

My 97 would not start. Changed the CPS, tried to start.

Changed the cam sensor in the distributor, started good.
