Ive had this problem and as far as my research shows, it is likely the check valve in the fuel pump. Another common problem. If you turn on the key and wait several seconds, the fuel pump will build pressure back up to the injectors. Ive seen several posts about this issue and im planning on trying the inline metal check valve next to the fuel tank on the outflow line. This should resolve much of this problem. Good luck!!

id say fuel pump. next time you leave it sitting for a while turn the key to just before you start the jeep, and let the fuel pump prime up a little bit, then try starting it.
