To start we need to know the basics. Year, Engine Model. Also need to know exactly what it is doing. Is it not cranking? Do hear the fuel pump prime? You can never give to much info.

Possibly the NSS neutral safety switch. Try starting with tranny in neutral.

+1 to that. My first jeep used to have the same issue, every now and then. Started pretty much everytime in neutral though.

By "replaced ignition", do you mean you replaced ignition switch?

If the NSS has completely gone out the "starting in neutral" trick won't work anymore. Try bypassing it
