'96 explorer starting problems

I have a '96 Explorer 4.0 that has intermitten starting problems. It seems that when the explorer's engine is hot and starts cooling down it dosen't want to start. If the Engine is cold it starts right and also if the engine is hot and you try to restart it with in about thirty minutes or so it will start again. Some time it helps to get it started if you hold the gas pedal down a little. I can get it started by spraying ether into the throttle body. I have tried replacing the fuel filter, fuel pressure regulater, and ignition coil. Any Ideas would be great. Thanks

When you turn the key to the ON position, do you hear the fuel pump prime for a second or two? If not, try replacing the fuel pump relay.
