Replace the fuel pump now and get it over with. I belive that little project cost me about $600 or $700 labor included!!
My wifes 97 900 SET did the exact same thing. One day it started to take longer to turn over - she asked me about it, but I ignored it (did not think much of it). Then she complained of small occassional hesitations while driving and then an occassional lack of boost when gunning it. All of these things were VERY sporadic and happened over 3+ months.
Then one day she drove to work, turned off the car, 10 minutes later got back in to go to the bank and it would not start at all. 15 minutes later it magically started and she went to the bank. On the way back it sputtered a bit and she accelerated to make it go and got a speeding ticket (cop did not believe her at all!).
4 hours later she went to lunch and it died again - had it towed and it was the fuel pump.
Soooooo, sounds like you are at the early stages of terminal fuel pump cancer. My understanding is these all go eventually and since you seem to be at the vulnerable age car-wise, I'd just do it, or be prepared for that moment when it does die (do not go on long trips).
