Too bad, the 6 is an easy fix.

What happens if you just turn the key to run for a minute to prime the
pump and lines, then turn it off and back on to crank with the starter?
If that works, you have a fuel pressure issue, either in the pump
regulator or on the return line regulator up top.

If I had that trouble and it ran fine otherwise, I would likely just key
it twice.

Re: 87 YJ hard to get started
 

not sure if this will help but my 90 yj was doing the same damn thing
and i found the problem to be with the choke not staying in the right
position for starting.... or something like that, a buddy helped me
with it and we adjusted it and ever since then one pump of the gas and
turn the key and on my way.....
