Intermittent starting problem with 1996 Cherokee sport 4.0L [no turnover]
 

I have an intermittent issue with my cherokee where it will not crank
over at all. When it does crank over it starts with ease. New battery,
starter engages fine. It's not the TDC sensor becasue that issue
usually allows the engine to crank over but with no spark.

I'll check the ground terminal, but what else could be the culprit? Is
there a sensor that will not allow the engine to turn over in this
regard, perhaps coupled with shifter position ect?

Any tips appreciated

Crank Position Sensor , I have seen this thing cause all kinds of different
problems, from no start, no crank all the way through to killing the engine
while doing 90mph in the fast lane (personal experience here). If you
check the codes you should be able to see it. (again experience has shown me
that this is not always true either).

I tried moving shiter to neutral and toggling in and around Park.
Initially nothing happened but eventually started. I'm not sure if that
was the problem.
