I recently purchased a 1999 Land Rover Discovery I for my wife. It seems to run fine until it has been operated for awhile, maybe 30 or 45 minutes and has warmed up good. When shut off to go into a store or something, it is difficult to re-start and spits and sputters momentarily. Seems to be a fuel delivery problem. Once re-started and driven for a few blocks, it is fine again until shut off. I have changed the fuel filter, spark plugs and wires, checked vacuum lines to best of my ability. Once it is running it is fine. It is only when it has been operated and engine is warm and then shut off that it has this problem. Any ideas/suggestions?

SOURCE: Starts fine when cold, after running dies on idle then wont start

Sounds like the fuel filter is dirty and needing to be changed. It's cheap and easy to swap out.

Observe the engine running in the dark to see if there are any spark jumps from the wires or coil, you may have a carbon track.....

LAND ROVER DISCOVERY II DONT HAVE FUEL FILTER, ONLY HAVE PRE FILTER IN THE FUEL PUMP

SOURCE: 2001 land rover discovery II locate fuel filter and fuel pump

If you're standing looking at the rear of the vehicle, it's on the chassis rail on the right hand side rear wheel arch.
