Ok guys, I've replaced the fuel filter, with negres. I just replaced the multi-unit fuel pump relay. Still no joy... It seems like it just doesn't get fuel for a few starting attempts then all of a sudden it starts right up like nothing happened. I'd like to exhaust all "simple" possibilities before I replace the fuel pump. Anyone have any other thoughts on this?

This I know:
The fuel pressure is not bleeding off because the longer the vehicle sits the better chances of it starting right up. (ie; I take it to work and it starts everytime I get in to go home after sitting for 8hrs) If I stop to get gas on the way to work, then it won't start on first attempt when I try to leave the gas station. It takes about 3 tries to get it started.

If I feather the gas pedal I can start it on the first attempt but when I let my foot off the pedal it just dies. I can drive it this way but I have to keep the RPMs up to keep it from stalling.

It has to be some electrical component that fails intermittanly when it gets hot. Any help from a certified Rover mech would be greatly appreciated.
