Default Lost Spark Need Help

I have a 1990 cherokee with the 4.0 and an auto.

I worked on it all week and it always started fine. We drove it on to the trailor starturday evening and hualed it to wellsville about and hour and a half away and got there and i had no spark. Didnt wheel it or anything had to push it off the trailor.

We replaced the cap and rotor, the coil, and the crank position sensor.

The jeep is now back in the garage and i need some advise on where to go from here, Some people said pick up coil, or the ecm got fried idk where to start.

Any help would be greatly apriciated.

Thanks, Joe
