Default White 94 Jeep Cherokee will NOT START HELP PLEASE!

Haha Yeah I had to put white in the subject. But anyways I have a 94 Jeep Cherokee with the 4.0L engine that doesn't run. I got it this way and I was told it was the fuel pump, but it has great fuel pressure! I found a brand new ignition coil under the seat but have not changed it yet because it looks pretty hard to get that bracket off that holds the coil. I can't tell because its got so much grease every where. But any one have any idea's to try starting it. I tried using starting fluid to start it but it didn't start.

Keep it basic. Check for spark first( new parts not installed are always a clue). Second was about fuel pressure, did you put a gauge on? You should have 39 psi at the rail.

Yeah, harbor freight has the best deals on gauges if you have one nearby. All the auto parts stores have them too but they cost more.
