Ok, it cut out on you so you replaced the coil and now youre not getting any spark from the coil? Is that correct?

Im gonna say its the CPS. If the CPS is bad it wont allow the coil to spark and ignite the sparkplugs.

The crank sensor is the most common engine management sensor failure on the Jeep 4.0

Without the input from that sensor to the computer, you will not have spark and you will not have fuel going TO the fuel injectors.

If you purchase one, buy it directly from Jeep. There is no lack of threads of people that have had trouble with aftermarket crank sensors. It IS worth the extra money here.
