I replaced plugs and wire and put two new ignition control modules in and didnt do a thing.
Sounds like the pick-up coil in the distributor. when pick-up coil goes bad they sometimes have intermittent electrical contact, therefore causing veh to run rough at times, and fine at some. it will eventually go out totally.

It does not have an ignition control module.
The electronic ignition (EI) for the 4.0L engine consists of the following components:
Crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) and 36 minus 1 tooth trigger wheel.
Ignition coil .
powertrain control module (PCM) .
Related wiring.
The PCM controls the firing of the coil based on the signal from the crankshaft position sensor.
The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) is a variable reluctance-type sensor, triggered by a 36 minus 1 tooth trigger wheel configuration machined into the rear of the crankshaft vibration damper. The signal generated by this CKP sensor is called a CKP signal. The CKP signal provides the base timing and rpm information to the powertrain control module (PCM). Base timing is set at 10 degrees BTDC and is not adjustable.
If vehicle has no spark then turn key to on position,check engine light should come on.As you start cranking engine it should go out while cranking after about 10 secs. it should come back on(while cranking). If it come on then the PCM sees the signal,if it does not then PCM is not seeing it and this is your problem,either the CKP sensor or the wiring to it.

It does not have an ignition control module. The PCM (powertrain control module) fires the coil pack based on signal it recieves from the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor.

The 2.3 engine is well known for plugged oil lines in the camshaft. You didn't say which cylinder isn't firing but if its number 3 or 4, you may well have a worn cam lobe. This will not show up on a compression test since the valve can't open due to the worn cam lobe. You will have to remove the valve cover and watch the valves move while turning the motor with a wrench on the harmonic damper/crank pulley bolt. Expect a repair bill in the $600 - $800 range. New cam and valve job.

Does the car click when you turn the ignition? If it does, it is probably your starter. If the engine does not turn when you turn the ignition.
