97 grand cherokee won't start
 

i need some help. i have owned my 97 grand cherokee for two and a half
years now, it has ran prefectly, even though four wheeling and towing a
boat. on a recent trip the the mountains in my jeep i was comming out
of a windy part of the road in to a town. i came to a stop sign and the
jeep died no sputtering. i tryed to start it with no result, it turns
over fine but it is getting no spark. i changed the coil and the crank
position sensor it still has no spark. i do not know if the check
engine light came on or not before, i wasnt paying attention to the
temp gauge ether but when i poped the hood the overflow for the
radiator started spewing. i had to have my car towed home now but i
would rather fix it myself i cant see spending hundreds when i am
capable. its a 97 with the 5.2L and 110000Mi any help it awsome!

I've been fooled a couple of times with a rotor that had shorted to
the shaft, that's why it's an automatic thing to replace cap, rotor
ignition wires along with the plugs. Of course this is fire at the coil,
no fire at the plug.
