starting problems sometimes V70-XC70 1999

I need help on this one. My Volvo V70R 99’ will start about 90% of the time. The other 10% it will start and immediately die. This may happen two or three times and then it will just turn over with out trying to start at all. Most of the time if I wait for 15-20 seconds it will start right up and off I go. If I give it gas while it’s dying it has no effect. If I give it gas when it is just turning over this has no effect. It has never died once it’s started and idles fine. At first I thought it could be low voltage. It was only supplying 12.1-12.3 volt to the battery. The alternator was putting out 13.4 (inside spec) so I replaced the cables. Now the battery gets 13.2 but the car still does it. It does not matter what temperature the car is or ambient is, or how long ago it was driven. Any help this would be appreciated.
