If you take coil wire loose from distributor cap and hold close to engine ground, engine cranking, does a spark jump? If it does, make sure rotor turns when you crank it. The pink wire at the coil goes hot with key on, that is primary voltage, use a test light, is it hot? That voltage comes from ecm fuse1--15 amp, check voltage with key on. If sensor issue, my first thought would be the crank sensor. Just my opinion.

There can be many reasons for this - check for error codes (DTCs) with a code scanner. If here are any, they can help you determine the problem. On of the more common causes of this is a problem with the actuator/solenoid which actually controls the 4WD lockup.

Check the TCCM. It is located behind the passenger kick panel. A poor design caused water to leak onto the wiring. If there is evidence of water damage, remove the wiring harness, and dry it with a blow dryer.

Problem is with the clutch or clutch release system

One thing to check is your battery post connections, or any damage to the cables themselves. Check that the ground wire from the battery is connected well to whatever it is bolted to. Even with a good battery a poor connection will do what you are describing. Clean them good and have them bolted on properly. If that is not it, then get the starter changed....banging on it is not always going to get it to work....I do suspect it is a current delivery problem or the starter itself.
