From the symptoms, the key problem is a symptom of a general data bus failure caused by something else. From memory, the cam sensor is half way along the cam cover on the drivers side and the crank sensor is just above the starter motor on the engine block.

What is actually stopping the car from starting, is that because of the key error, do you think it's the actual key or where the key actually goes? I'm preserving it does have to go to jeep for that??
Thanks h x

If the cam or crank sensor fails completely the engine will not run. Obviously a key error will also stop the engine running, but with all the other symptoms, there is clearly something disrupting the data bus, which could cause the key error as the SKIS immobiliser system relies on the bus to transmit data to and fronm several locations in order to work. Unfortunately modern cars have very complex electrical systems in which one seemingly insignificant component can wipe out most of the electrical system. To be honest, your best bet might be a local auto electrical specialist on this one.

Re. the black gunge, could be a leaky injector seal, could be left over from when you had it repaired last. Re the marriage proposal, we would have to see photographs of you draped over the hood of the Jeep before making a decision.

Regarding the marriage proposal - let's be quite clear who suggested the fix 
I will, however, have to decline. The misses would probably object, and as I don't live in Utah,
bigamy isn't legal.
