This good answer has a list of all Jeep OBDI codes, pulling out the relevant ones we have:

12 memory to controller has been cleared within 50-100 engine starts
27 injector control circuit does not respond to control signal
54 camshaft reference circuit not detected
55 end of message

12 and 55 are not errors, 27 and 54 are, so concentrate on them.

This answer explains fault 27, and has detailed instructions on how to check. Summed up you have a disconnected injector, a broken injector or a problem in the injector control wiring.

Error code 54 has to do with a sensor in the distributor, either failed or disconnected:

54 means the camshaft sensor's signal is missing. The camshaft sensor is inside the distributor with its connector cable leading out from underneath the cap. It's a little flat ribbon cable.

This forum post has more details, basically check to see if it is connected properly, placement varies by engine type.

If you've been doing some work make sure your cabling is connected and in the right places. Ensure your injectors are plugged in the right order.
