Angry 91' cherokee 4.0 wont start...help!!!!!

Ive got a 1991 cherokee laredo 4.0L automatic

It cranks over and acts like it wants to start but nothing.
Ive replaced the cap and rotor, crank postition sensor, plugs, wires. The fuel pump is functioning properly and i am getting 40lbs of fuel at the rail. I also get spark.

After i replaced the crank sensor it started right up. Problem solved??
hell no!! It ran great for about a week then would not start again this morning. I figured napa sold me a bad crank sensor and replaced it again tonight but the jeep still wouldn't start. WTF!!??!!

Any Suggestions??

what are the signs of a bad CAMSHAFT position sensor?????

thanks,

Clay

Re: 91' cherokee 4.0 wont start...help!!!!!

Anytime I have a no-start that is kicking my butt like that, I go back to basics.

You gotta have fuel, fire, and compression to start.

If you checked fuel pressure and you have fire, is it a good hot spark or weak?
do you have a compression guage to stick in the cylinders and check compression?
I mean, the problem has to be related to one of these categories.
