Hard Starting - '96 9000CS

For several years my '96 has gone through periods of hard starting. Usually after it's been run and then sits for 15-20 minutes. It always starts eventually although sometimes it takes 3 long attempts.
When it finally starts it idles and runs fine. Sometimes months go by and it starts on the first 3 cranks.
Occasionally when it doesn't start and I let off the key I hear a 'poomp' from the engine that is likely one of the cylinders firing on the DI cleaning cycle.
Through attrition or the fact that I have lots of spares I have eliminated;
Plugs
Fuel Pump
Fuel Line Check Valves
DI Cassette
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Ignition Switch
Trionic ECU
I must be missing something, but I can't imagine what. No Check Engine light, but could I learn anything by reading the OBD?
