Default Motor Cranks, but no start!!

Wheeling last Saturday I went through a tiny stream and my Jeep died. The stream wasn't deep and I wasn't going fast either. I got stuck, put her in 4hi, popped out, put back into 4hi then died. After she died she would just crank and not fire. Another Jeep pulled us out of the stream to dry land and we tried again. Once I finally got it back to my buddies house I did some research on this forum for potential problems. I have replaced the distributor and cam sensor (which was only 2 years old but hey, worth a shot) and last night I also replaced the ignition coil, still.....NO LUCK!! The crank sensor is also new (within 5 years). I have read that it can potentially be something as stupid as the temp sensor (which I highly doubt) and maybe even the ASD fuse. ANY suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Should check for moisture that may have rested inside your electrical connections. Try unplugging and if you see moisture let it air dry for a day or so. Double check your cap. Any moisture there may cause a no spark.

Didn't take me a year to find out but it was the ASD fuse for anyone browsing through old posts....
