99 9-3 Intermittent start/stall problem

I have a 99 9-3SE with an intermittent starting problem. It won't start on the first few times. It cranks, the engine turns over and sometimes catches, shudders, and then stalls out. Sometimes it shudders and starts up roughly, the tach revs up to 3k or 4k and them comes down really slowly. After 2 or 3 tries, it always starts up. This ONLY happens in the warmer months and when the car has been sitting in the heat.
Yesterday, for the first time, the engine cranked but didn't turn over. I don't know if this is a related problem. I tried to start it a few times, let it sit for 5 minutes, and then pumped the accelerator and it finally started. It had been sitting for 3 days, and this was in the morning so it was cool (50 degrees).
I replaced the ignition cassette 3 years ago and put in a new crank sensor last summer. Car has 98k, and has had all scheduled services. I've been trying to fix this for 2 years and no one knows what to do. HELP!
