intermittent start 850 1995

I'd be going in the same direction as VOBD, the system relay under the cowl behind the radiator..check that for proper operation when your car is not starting. If it's not clicking, well then there you go (or don't go). Also, I've had problems with the funky polybutyl insulators for the wires in the connector to this relay fall apart...the wires then touch together at or in the connector.

Barring this being the problem, are you absolutely sure that you have spark when your car won't start? If that relay, and those connectors are fine, I usually lean towards cam sensor when I have a customer with a similar problem.
