Electrical Problem (I think)
So I was taking a right hand turn and my 96 Jeep cherokee 4L 6Cyl cut out. All lights stayed on, pressed on the gas and nothing was there. When i got it home i found that my motor mount had broke some time in the past and my distributer was literally holding up the right side of my motor. After fixing the mount, i started testing all the wires with a spark plug and found i had no sprak coming from the coil. Replaced th coil and still no spark. So it has to be something before the Coil. Any thoughts?

I suspect that while your engine was resting on the distributor; you shorted the CPS wiring to ground and blew a fuse.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean there, but I'd check the distributor for physical damage.. I doubt if they make very good motor mounts.
