Default Sos, renix ignition issue

So last I go to leave and jeep doesn't start, it turned over briefly a couple of times and nothing after. I checked fuel pressure and it was good so I proceeded to check spark and I had none. I had my wife bring me a new cps, installed it same issue. I check voltage on cps and it's at .8. Next I checked coil and it ohmed out fine ( it's only a few months old) I check voltage at icm and it's present. I am stumped and getting very frustrated I would appreciate any and all help. I am now leaning forwards ECM, icm, or the distributor.

Dizzy ain't it, and ECU is highly unlikely.

Fuses are good and relay is fairly new, but will try anyway.

Remove plugs. Clean and dry them.

So I was able to get jeep started had to pull the fuel relay and burn off all the extra fuel which worked. So I get it home shut it off and start it back but it seemed kinda of lazy like it was on the edge of either starting or not. So I guess I have a new problem to trouble shoot. Lol.
