Welcome to the forum!
I'm with Steve about wanting to check the timing.
A couple assumptions, I'm thinking you have a 4.0l 6cyl engine in this jeep? Because you say you've changed the cam sensor top makes me think it must be the 4.0l
I'm also assuming that you have a lab scope or graphing meter of some sort? You said you could see the power ground and signal at the cam sensor.
If you do have a scope, and a 4.0 litre engine, this video should help get you going:
This may be a long shot, but is there any chance the wrong coil has been installed? I've seen it more than once...
The 99 ignition coil looks the same, and even plugs in (the plug is at a different angle, but it still goes).
With that coil on a 2001 engine, the engine will back fire and kick back like an old distributor V8 with the plug wires mixed up.

Yeah, sounds like you have the wrong ignition coil installed.

Holy crap, it sounds like Noah hit this one on the nose :ohmy:
Did the pin assignments change between years? Just wondering how you'd go about figuring that out if you didn't know the interchangeability issue...
