Why will a 1997 Jeep Wrangler turn over but not start with a new battery if it worked before the battery went dead?

Did you hook the battery up backwards before realizing the wrong polarity? Kiss the PCM goodbye.
Did you take the nice thin plastic cap off the negative pole that is placed on some batteries?. It's easy to miss if you are not looking for it and paying close attention. It's also possible that the new batter was DOA (Dead on Arrival), it can happen.

Why does my jeep wrangler sport turn over then takes about 10-15 seconds to crank The battery seems fine.?
The fuel pump is starting to go bad. You might verify that battery again too. I know places like Auto Zone will do a free battery test for you. From my research you need at least 500 amps to 600 amps depending on your model to get a smooth start from a Jeep Wrangler. The last battery I had on my 1998 Wrangler Sport (4.0L I-6) would give a few "wrr, wrr, wrrs" from its 700 amp battery before it would finally crank. Auto Zone ran the quick test which took like 15 seconds and the battery showed to only be producing 302 amps. I replaced it with a new 700 amp battery and it cranks like a champ every time.
Just put in new battery and car turns over but no start?
Was it running before the old battery went south? Did you have a check engine light before you replace the battery?
Is battery bad if you can't jump start?
Yes, the battery may be defective is you cannot jump start the car. The battery may also be so low as to need to be charged some before you attempt to start the car. Put a charger on the battery and see if it will accept a charge.

I once replaced the distributor and worked to clean the battery posts and all sorts of stuff before finally realizing it was a blown ignition fuse. Van would turn over but not start. replaced the 35 cent fuse and I was on my way..
