Default Start up problem!!!please help

ok so i have a 97 xj. most of the time it starts fine......every once in a while (usually when it has not been run in a day or so) it wont start. i keep getting starded everywhere. usually after while of messing with it, it starts up. i had it towed to a shop but when it got there it started right up so they said they couldnt find what was wrong unless it wasnt starting. now it wont start and i need help with what to look for. it seems like spark or fuel because it sounds like it wants to start but just wont turn over.......please help
