Trouble starting '06

Ok yall, I have an '06 Screw with the 4.6 If I drive it for say an hour, then pull into a gas station for a drink, maybe 3 min. When I try to start it back up the engine just barely turns then the starter just spins. Usually have to crank it a few times and hold it for about 10sec before it will start. It only does this after I have been driving it for awhile and try to start it back up soon after turning it off. By the way it has 22K on the clock. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

Sounds similar to my wifes expo, bad fuel by pass vaule in the tank. Was fine when driving when you let it sit for a bit would take 10-15 secs to start back up. What was happeinging was the bypass or check valve cant remember exact name but when it does is it keeps the fuel line pressureized and keeps fuel from going back into the tan. Wifes was bad and it would let fuel go back into tank and not gas in the lines. So when sh tried to start it took 10 secs or more for fuel to go back from tank up to engine again.
