jeep cranking, not starting
The jeep is getting fuel, but not getting spark. I put in a new cap, rotor, coil, and distributor in, still nothing. the cps is the only thing i haven't replaced(it was done 8 months ago), if that isn't it, then im fresh out of ideas. any body know what it might be

Well... It could be the cps again.. Sometimes new parts just have a random flaw that causes premature failure. Get a code reader on it maybe? What else has been done to help diagnose/narrow possibilities? Does it crank at all? Turn over at all?

Crank sensors usually are all or nothing but NOT always.
Especially with aftermarket crank sensors. They are not exactly known for their reliability or longevity.
You mention it's not getting spark. That means the crank sensor is a primary suspect here.
And if you replace it, buy it directly from Jeep......well worth the extra money.
