98 Jeep Grabd Cherokee TSI l6 not starting

Hello I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee TSI l6 and it is not crankong over. I bought a new battery, replaced the pickup coil and the crankshaft sensor and still no results. When I turn the key in the ignition to turn it on it struggles to want to start. Please let me know what I have to do solver this problem for good. Thanks

Engine: 4.0

Well, let's start by figuring out what it's doing, or not doing. You say it's not "crankong over". "Cranking" means that tyhe engine is turned over by the starter. If you take out all your spark plugs and try to start the engine, it will crank over until the battery runs down, but it will never start.

"Cranking" does not mean "starting".

So please clarify what you mean. Is it not cranking? OR is it cranking, but not starting?
