Well after suffering this same problem and following this thread, I decided
to go ahead and spend the $15.00 for a new fuel pump. Well it fixed my
problem. I can let the Jeep sit for two days now and it cranks on the
first bump of the key. Before the new pump, after sitting for a day or
more, I would have to crank on the damn thing for 20-30 seconds.
