Question still having starting problems HELP

Can any one give ideas???? We have had the disco looked at by several people. 91 3.5 disco, Once driven some where and left for half an hour ,It wont start straight up, you need to put foot to floor until it starts, once started you can turn it off, then it will start straight up. It seems to happen once driven some where.
any ideas driving us crazy we seem to think fuel related had fuel lines check told pressure was good . other wise drives great:
Thanks from down under

yarraman1, you must be Victoria.
anyway, it sounds like a possible issue with the TPS. start it up and check the resistance in the system. I bet it ok at one position until heated up and then changes to a bad position until you floor it at which point the resistance is high enough to start.
