If your sure the wires are in correct position,I have seen many aftermarket crank sensors bad right out of the box.Get a crank sensor from the dealer.Also check fuel volume,it may have good pressure but not enough volume.I have seen these 2 problems the most.

Sounds like you've replaced everthing on the ignition system. If it's not turning over, then the starting system is at fault. This could be the battery, cables or starter; Even the ignition switch. If the car tries to start; but doesn't; you might have one of the wires mixed up. This is really easy to do. Take a breather from your vehicle, have a Coke, and relax etc. Then check your wires. If you're positive they are fine, you might want to consider that the timing chain is worn out. These aren't too bad to do; but time consuming and require some patience on your part to get the marks lines up. Since this truck is nearly fifteen year old, this is very likely the issue.

My first thought would be mixed up wires, did you replace them one at a time, or pull them all off the cap, then guess? Go back to the manual or look at a similar jeep to make sure you got it right. If that's not it, I'd start pricing a timing chain.

if it ran before wire replacement the firing order is 153624 in clock wise rotation lower right terminal on cap is #1 viewed from top. if dist was installed a tooth off this could also be the trouble test the coolant and air tep sensors w/scan tool [may cause flooding good luck

my first question is what was the truck doing before you did all the replacements? sounds like the wires might be wrong on your firing order.but without knowing any more details i cant really give you a good answer.

Maybe its flooded from all the cranking. Remove the spark plugs and see if they are soaked in gas. If so, clean them and re install.Also hold the throttle to the floor while cranking. Thiswill allow more air in to the cylinders

You mistake the firing order when replacing the distributor cap
