Here's a few things to do:
The crank sensor should be shimmed the thickness of a corner of an oil filter box. Really, it's true. Tear a dime sized piece off, stick it to the sensor with a dab of grease. When you install the sensor, push it down against the flexplate and tighten the bolt. It'll spin off as soon as the starter engages.
Measure crank sensor output voltage. It is an AC generator.
Are ALL the grounds on the dipstick stud?
Does the instrument cluster gauges move when you turn the key on?
Holler back, I know a dude who is pretty good with Jeep electronics.
