John, I had a similar problem with a 9000. Turned out when the starter was warm or hot it would bind internally enough to keep it from working. The solution for the 9000 was to add a seperate solenoid which provided current directly from the battery to the starter solenoid. I doubt you want to do that to a 9-5 though. The first thing I would do is check to see if the starter is getting 12 volts at the smaller wire when you turn the key to start. If it is then I would suspect the solenoid is binding when hot. You could try to cool it off with a spray bottle and see if it works (seriously). If there is no power to the solenoid when trying to start I can't help, that's beyond me. Used starters for these cars are pretty cheap. Good luck.
