The crankshaft position sensor located between flywheel and trans is where the power source for the coil comes from. I suggest you need change that

I would make sure you have voltage to the coil. Could be a fuse or relay problem. Is the check engine light on when you turn the key on ?

1993 jeep grand cherokee larado hose broke in back of motor got everything wet. car shut off and would not start, replaced the crand senser.and got no spark from coil,check for power, no power at coil...

Check the ignition coil harness you may have a bad connection.When you turn the key on the relay ASD should click without the ASD relay operation expect no power to coil and even no fuel pump. Do this turn the key on and cycle the switch you should hear the fuel pump activate. If you dont check the fuse.For the coil to have no power you may have bad connection on the harness or connection.Go to the ignition coil on the B+ that is battery power apply battery power and see it it starts. If it doesnt you will need to inspect ignition control modulecansmo_197.gif

Cam sensor, crank sensor, bad coil, all could give no spark. Check all fuses and relays.... wiring connections as well. 320 is a crank sensor code.

93 Jeep Grand Cherokee Won't start

The crankshaft position sensor was seriously problematic in those old jeeps. It's located towards the top of the bell housing slightly to the driver's side I think.
