Sorry I didn't include this in my earlier post, iffy internet on a cellphone in the middle of nowhere, what about coil and ignition control?

I can certainly check. I'll be heading back over there in an hour or so. I think I may change the crank sensor again aswell. The sparatic loss of spark on all cylinders has me leaning towards that.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought high output setups didn't use an ignition control module?
What do you guys think about a sticking asd relay? I can check if the one in my '98 is the same and swap them out if they are. I've seen relays sparatically stick in the past... maybe the asd relay is sticking, causing the ignition coil to intermittently lose signal?

I had the same problem. I rebuilt my motor comp custom cam .30 over and everything new. I had to cut off the tap on the Distributor and fine tune timing the motor in. Dose it when you get on the gas sound like u are hitting the rev limiter and missing real bad and shaking. It took me 2 day and 3 Mechanic ( that wall work at the local jeep dealership) to figure it out. My jeep is a 92

I still say your cpu took a ****. especially since you say its missing across all 6 cly intermittently.
Regardless if its been running fine for 1400 miles, The cpu can still go. I would make sure all your ground straps are good. Also make sure the CPU pins are clean and packed with dieletric grease. I have a ground issue with my 99. I cleaned and gooped said pins, and she's been good for over a year.
I also wonder if your cam jumped time. Which could happen if a mistake was made when indexing the cam.
I'm running out of **** it could be...lmao.
