Just fixed the same kind of problem with my 106K 1995. It was the fuel pressure relay. Exactly the same symptoms. Does it run fine after it finally starts? Mine did. It would only manifest itself after it sat overnight or about 8 hours. After it started and was warm it would crank right up like nothing was wrong. It will just get worse until it takes 20+ frustrating cranks to get the thing to go. Cost me two weeks at the dealer and $260 in labor before they found it. The $75 FP relay was on my hit list of things that could go wrong, along with the fuel pump. I've decided that next time I'll just pump a couple hundred in parts into the thing before I give up so easy. The stuff I'm replacing will eventually fail anyway. Consider it fail-safeing the car. search my name and find my other posts on this. Good luck.
