Have you checked the CPS? Sometimes if you unplug it and plug it back in it will start but if it does it needs to be replaced. If you do a search there is a couple of post on here on how to check out the CPS.

I agree with RTorrez1. Crankshaft position sensor is absolutely the primary suspect.

Do yourself a favor and buy a Mopar unit directly from Jeep. Aftermarket crank sensors are "hit and miss" with a lot of miss.
