Question Ignition Trouble --- no spark!

my 95 cherokee stopped today, at the lights just cut out, turns out there is no spark.
I disccnnected the electronic injector and checked power with my test light, there was power as there should be. Would this rule out the Crankshaft positioning sensor?
I thought it would rule it out so I replaced the coil but it made no difference, I have power going to the coil but no spark coming out.
Do I replace the Crank sensor?
I have checked all the fuses under the hood but not inside. I also switched some realys around while waiting to be towed but made no difference. At least it was a sunny tee shirt day here in N.S. and I stopped beside a Tim's so it could of been worse.
Please if anyone has experienced this or similar issues please share your knowledge and save me hours of research and head scratching, this kiwi can not fly without a jeep.

Yes, try a crankshaft position sensor.

Same happened to me, no spark because no crank reference. tried a coil too, still no spark.
I think you got it nailed with a CKP.
