Unhappy '92 Explorer Hard To Start

My '92 Explorer is sick. It runs ok for its age but when I drive for a while, shut down and come back later, it just won't start. After a cool down period, It'll start again but I'd swear, it doesn't want to. I just changed the fuel filter, no change.
Anyone have an idea what to try next?

runs OK for it's age really isn't a good thing, it should run very good forever. Without popping the hood I'd say you may just want to start with the basics like pulling the plugs and taking a peak, look under the hood in the dark see if there is any arcing going on, could just be time for a tune up.You mentioned fuel filter, how about air filter?
