Default 96 XJ 4.0l Starts first time, hard start after that

Hello all, I have an odd issue here. 96 XJ Sport 240k miles runs great except it will not start properly a second time. It fires right up the first time, always cranks. If you start it and it runs for a minute (not even warmed up) and shut it off it is very hard to start a second time, you must hold the throttle to the floor and crank for about 5 seconds and it will fire, sounding like its flooded. I replaced the TPS a few months ago for poor shifting and stumbling on acceleration. And just replaced it again for the heck of it.

Sound familiar to anyone?
