another thing to check seeing crank position has been replaced all ready and still no start the wires to rear o2 sensor will get rubbed thru causing short to ground causing one of the smaller fuses in pdc box under hood to blow causinga no start issue...
My son's '96 Cherokee Sport just stalled in the middle of the road, and I thought that it was the CPS, but after reading this post I decided to check the fuses under the hood. Turns out the little 30a green fuse was blown (yellow arrow in pic points to it). Since you were spot on with this, I decided to check the rear O2 sensor, and sure enough, the harness was ripped through and one of the wires must have shorted.
I replaced the fuse, spliced the wires in the O2 sensor, and put it all in a split loom tube (shown in the other pic).
The culprit? There is a cable harness on a chassis bolt that fell off, causing the cable to wrap around the drive shaft and eventually short, which caused the blown fuse.
Since I was in a pinch, I zip-tied the rear O2 cable harness onto the bolt, and my son was zipping down the road in no time.
Big thanks to this forum and to all of its contributors!
