My jeep has been hard to start when it sits for a couple of days.. and the problem is getting worse.. I was trying to get it started and the battery was getting low.. so I figured with the last bit of juice I had I better get it started.. so I sprayed some starter fluid into the air box and clamped it back down and tried to start it. It back fired through the intake and blew the lid off the air box.. I could see flames in the engine bay from sitting inside the jeep.. I started thinking about how the water hose was rolled up.. and where my extinguisher was. I ran to to the front of the jeep and the paper air filter was on fire, luckily I was able to blow it out. I plan on.. number 1.. never using starter fluid again.. and number 2 getting a big extinguisher in my garage so I don't burn my jeep/house down.
About the starting problem.. maybe the fuel pressure is bleed down? Over time..
