ok here is the deal. i have to leave for work at 4 a.m. for work so still dark and kinda cold. when i go to start the jeep it cranks but will not fire. when i was on 8 hour days and leaving at 6 just 2 days ago it was fine but this morning and last nothing. and when i get home from work it starts right up.

do you guys think its a moister issue like condensation? if so what should i check? it has a new coil cause of a simaler issue it used to not start when it was raining and right after. so since the coil is about 2 weeks old i would say its not that.

check under your dist. cap for any signs of cracks/moisture/carbon tracking. start there.

did you put a new coil wire on? spark plugs wires, what is there condition?

yeah it was the coil wire.

Check your Throttle Body and see if there is alot of buildup around the idler sensor. Mine did the same thing sometimes it would start and sometimes it wouldn't, sometimes it would start then die as soon as I took my foot off the gas. I spent around 180 dollars on parts before I figured out a 3 dollar can of throttle body cleaner resolved the problem. I think on mine it got to much buildup over the idler sensor to the point it wasn't reading correctly, but mine got to the point you could crank it all day long but it would never start unless I had the gas pedal all the way to the floor then it would die as soon as I took my foot off the gas.
