I need help. I have a 2005 jeep wrangler manual transmission. It was running good and all of a sudden it would not start. The lights come on the dash, the blower motor clicks, and the fuel pump primes. It does not turn over and even try to. I had the distributor replaced at a shop and it was working good. About 2 weeks later it was working all day and started about 7 times that day then it just never start again. I have replaced the starter, starter solenoid, starter relay, all the fuses, ignition switch, Ignition Switch Actuator Pin, the Clutch Pedal Position Switch, and the battery. I have jumped the starter and it does start turning. I have ran into a dead end and do not know what to do next, Any information is helpful.

Edit: I can not get a code reader to read the car. I have tried two different ones.

Starter turns when you jump it, not when you turn the key? Check your battery cables, terminals and grounds for corrosion, make sure everything is spotlessly clean, shiny and tight.

You said a shop replaced your distributor. Stock 2005 TJ's don't have a distributor. Is yours stock? Fill out your profile so we know what you have and can help you troubleshoot.
 
Yes it turns when jumping the relay.

It was actually the oil pump drive assembly. I updated my profile.
