It's kind of a slippery slope and it could in fact be the starter pulling too much juice stealing precious power to other components or making the engine crank over just slow enough so that the signal from CKP sensor is not enough to get the whole fuel/ignition system up and running.

Maybe start with new battery cables and battery.

It was also common on the older 900/9-3 with cold start problems that got cured with a new CKP sensor. If you haven't replaced that on yours, it is always a good idea since they do have limited lifespan anyway on the newer 9-3 and 9-5 and they are not that much money.

A few 9-5 V6 cold start problems has been cured by finally replacing the starter. Since it is a royal pain to replace them on those I hesitated for the longest trying to find anything else before doing it.

The left drive shaft is a sorry piece. It gets a little bit better by replacing the steel bushing inside diff but I only do that if the leak is too bad from the seal.
