Default hard start always

everytime i try to start my jeep it will crank about 8 times before it fires and runs but it will run even worse the colder it is any ideas on what that could be. And another random thing i ran out of gas in it twice cuz the gauge dont work well i have to put some gas in the throttle body just to get it to fire and hold my foot on the gas til it runs on its own i have no idea what that could be Its fuel injected 87 4.0

long crank times are a typical jeep thing. Figure out your mileage so you know when to fill up. Your pump might be going out tho.
