Default Help: 96 jeep grand cherokee won't start

I have a 96 grand cherokee laredo, and the other day it just wouldnt start. The jeep will not turn over, so i started checking some things out and determined that it was not getting a spark. Since i replaced the distrubitor cap recently i figured it had to be the ignition coil, so i replaced that. Still no go, i tested to see if the ignition coil was getting a spark by using an ohm meter, and nothing.

So something is preventing the spark even getting that far. I do not know much about vehicles, and i have to think it is something in the electrical system (like a chip or something),possibly security system, or NSS. I have come up with these by reading other people having similiar problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Welcome to CF. Sounds like the Crankshaft Position Sensor. This tells how to test/replace it.
