Still need help with this problem. 95 Wrangler w/ 2.5 fuel injected. Engine turns over good but will not start until I turn the key to on without cranking the engine and let it sit for 3-20 minutes. Length of wait depends on how cold it is. Once I wait a while I hear a clicking from the power distribution box and I can hear the fuel rail getting fuel. When the clicking stops the engine starts and runs fine. I have switced the relays around in the power distribution box, that did no good. The fuel pump was supposedly replaced, did no good. Is there something that is having to charge up or heat up electrically that is causing this? No one seems to have a clue what this could be. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the cure?

I just finally solved my starter problem similar to yours, my starter would not engage till after I let it spin for 2-3 minutes when it was cold out, It would spin just not engage the flywheel, I turned out to be corrosion in the starter wiring from the battery to the starter, corrosion will do two things 1 reduce voltage and current, 2 increase heat with increased restistance in the wire, this will in turn allow more current to flow through the corrosion, increasing voltage, giving as the dealer put it the "warm up Effect"and " cold problems lean toward corrosion" I would check your ignition switch and all wires and connections and see if that helps.
