Default no start issue

98 5.2 limited. I've had for a week, has been working fine.

Today it didn't start.
Checked for fuel at shrader valve, fuel squirted out.
Pulled spark plug , had spark, at what sounded to be the right time.
Checked all the fuses, no issues.

Gave a very brief shot of starting fluid in intake tube, made no difference.

I'm kinda at a loss, any suggestions?
This is my first v8 jeep ( or Chrysler) so pls bear with me.

Well if you have fuel and spark then you don't have compression.

It can possibly be the camshaft or crankshaft position sensor.

Checked compression and found the passenger side bank if full of fuel. After each comp test about a teaspoon full of fuel came out of tester for each cylinder. Any ideas to why one bank is flooded and the other isnt? They both smell of fuel , but pass side dumps out
