I have a 2000 9-3 that had these same symptoms last fall. Starts fine when engine is cold, but try to start again when the engine is warm, it cranks but never starts until the engine cools off.
The crankshaft position sensor can fail and when it does, the heat from the engine causes expansion which creates an open circuit in the CPS. With open circuit, the sensor doesn't work. The engine cools off and then it will work again.
If you search the threads here on that, it tells how to test the sensor to see if it is faulty or not. The part itself is not expensive (less than $100) and you can get it from several of the site sponsors.
