I just went through that. These guys know everything. I will watch you fix it with their help. Let us know when you find it.
Look at the 30 amp fuse under the hood.
See if the wire to the 02 sensor is rubbing.

You can have good fuel pressure with a bad crankshaft position sensor.
Test the crank sensor. It is very common the root cause of a no-spark on the 4.0. Possibly the most common sensor failure on this engine.

if im not mistaken, you have the cap/rotor set up. sorry if you already answered this, but is there spark all the way through? if so youd have spark to the wires and thusly the plugs... so if these are good, then #2 is the CPS. and a less likely guess of the TPS... idk, my .02
