Double check you plug wires. Spark time the engine. If you don't know how do spark time it i can explain if you need me to.

Your vehicle does not have a knock sensor.

I guess I wasn't the only one that couldn't help but take the opening of that line. Have you had a tuneup as of late? First guess and cheap solution to try and besides it would not good idea anyway would be to run injector cleaner and dry gas through fuel. water will give you a miss and poor performance. Cheap enough to do no mater what. Have a free check done at Auto Zone for any codes. Wire spark plug wires for breaks along with spark voltage at the cap and plugs. get back to me

check the crank sensor

Not sure why you disconnected the battery to replace plugs, but try locking and unlocking the drivers door using the key. That should re-set the security system.

if the handle is loose on both sides there is a wire inside the door that might be disconnected

It is under the vehicle under the drivers side frame rail.It might be rusty and hard to remove.Use P.B.Blaster it works really good on rust.Let it soak a little.This is a rust penatrent.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Which engine?? Your local part store can print it out for you or at least show it to you, Haynes manuals are GREAT if its something you will be working on alot, and my favorite is google images, just type in year make model engine size and serpentine belt diagram and it should pop right up!!

Delay in shifting is generally caused by either an internal seal beginning to leak (takes longer to build pressure) or a sticking control valve. You can try changing the fluid and filter and adding lucas conditioner...if that does not help likely it's time for a rebuild. There is nothing external you can adjust on those.

Yes...two center terminals on the switch connector that are not on the side where the clip is. The switch is around $200 new but cheaper in a scrapyard. You can also carefully take it apart and clean it but take care because internal parts fall out easily.
If you must bypass, use a push button so it isn't on all the time and ALWAYS make sure it's in park before starting (foot on the brake)

To start any engine you need three things. 1. fuel (getting into the cylinders...at the rail is not enough) 2. Air make sure the air filter is not blocked. 3. Spark (needs to happen at the correct time as well as just being there.
You have taken care of some of these items but have not mentioned exactly what you have/don't have. Do you see spark coming from the coil wire as it is being cranked? Is there spark coming from the wires at the plugs? Does the fuel pressure read normal at the rail? Is the fuel reaching the cylinders? What is the compression? Three mechanics and none can figure it out? shame on them!!
Get yourself a Haynes or Chilton manual and run through the sensor tests. You need a decent digital multi-meter to do that. I'm attaching a link for a wiring diagram so you can see what goes to what.
Don't loose sight of the fact that there is an engine underneath all the electronics...everything there needs to be good or nothing will help. http://www.scribd.com/doc/18999822/Jeep-Wiring-2
At this point I'm betting on a crank sensor or shutdown relay not working but you need to test before doing anything.
Good luck!

Please clarify for me if both turn signals work correctly when the 4 ways are turned on or do they work together. If they work together than you need a new turn signal flasher. There are two, one for the for ways and another for the turn.

may be a bad blower motor resistor

if you have spark and fuel it has to be a timing issue...

The neutral safety switch is faulty which would explain why sometimes you have to position it in neutral for it to start.The switch is located on side of the transmission,It has a long wiring harness that runs up near the transmission dipstick tube.U can purchase that switch at advance auto.

the most likely cause of miss fireing is, plugs, plug wireing, coils may be bad, and when vehicle gets warm they break down. check for proper spark from each coil.

Sounds like the alternator is overcharging. Have voltage output of alternator tested a.s.a.p.

If you didn't have a problem with the wheel before you started the job, you may not have the pitman arm aligned properly on the shaft. If you are sure that's ok then move tie rod adjustments equally in the direction you need to go. (example: if wheels point right with steering wheel straight, turn right side in several turns and left side out the exact same number of turns). Or, have the toe in re-set at an alignment shop.

you have bad grounding at the distributor or coil.

Check spark at plugs. If no spark consider coil.
