I am having a somewhat simlar problem in terms of it happening every two weeks. Mine turns over but does not even start at all. All I can do is wait about 20-40 minutes and then it starts fine.
I have changed the fuel pump relay which didn't help. I have used graphite in the ignition switch. In my case the fuel pump does not run and it does not start running by tapping it with a rubber mallet.
I am planning to sell the car in the spring because I found another car that I had originally been looking for. I have had this car since October and it is pretty consistently not starting every two weeks.
The next step that I am considering is to connect a wire to the pump that would be controlled by a switch. If the car doesn't start, I can trip the switch providing power to the fuel pump. If the car starts then it must be the connection that is faulty.

Anyone have any suggestions? Any update on your situation?
