2005 9-3 Arc major starting issues!

Hi. I have a 2005 9-3 Arc (2.0T), 5-speed w/ 60k+ miles, and it has recently been giving me headaches. The night of 7/15/09 the car would not start. It would crank and crank but just not catch or turn over. Finally, literally 20 mins later after almost killing the battery, she started right up and ran 100% fine with no check engine light or anything. I brought it to the saab dealer and they tested a few things, charged me $99 and said they could not reproduce the problem. It did not happen again until last Thur night, then again two nights ago and for the 4th time tonight. Note that each occurrence has been at night. Anyway, the problem is the same each time. It goes for a long time (15-25 mins) with just cranking and not starting, then finally starts up and all appears well and good (except tonight, the check engine and battery lights came on and the rpm gauge was firmly placed at 0 while driving all the way home). I have read other threads but have not found one like this. I plan on taking it in again to be checked out tomorrow b/c I need to drive across state borders for work next week and cannot have this happening! Any ideas??
