When I Try To Start My Jeep After It Has Set For A Day
Or Two, It Grinds Very Slow At First, Like The Battery
Is Dead, But Then It Continues To Crank And Finall It
Starts, But The Engine Dies Immeaditley....have To Hold
The Gas Down To Keep It Running. After It Starts And I
Drive It, It Does Fine. Also, When I Do Get It Started, I Smell
Gas, And It Has A Sort Of Miss Like Maybe Flooding.

Sounds very similar to what I've been experiencing lately, except for the gas smell!
I just took the original battery out of my '98 today & replaced it with an Optima (RedTop).
Now when I start my Jeep, it starts & sounds as if it was "new," & sitting on a dealership lot!
If your battery is not somewhat new, I would start there.
