I have a 93 cherokee 4.0. It turns over fine but will not start. Now here's what happened. I was wheeling last week and went through some high watter and got stuck. Engine died in water and now will not start. I'm getting fuel and I've changed plugs and wires, Dist cap and rotor button, and ingition coil, still no spark???? I'm at a loss I can't figure it out any sugestions would be great. Thanks
