No-Start Problem

My wife has a 2007 9-3 convertible 4-cylinder with 94,000 miles. She drove it a few weeks ago home from work, stopped for gas, and it wouldn't restart. It looks like it was the ECM, which I replaced with a refurbished one (stage 1 tune from Tuning by MPS). I also replaced the crank position sensor, spark plugs, and battery.
The car drives fine. She says that when she starts it, though, it doesn't sound right when it cranks. She said it cranks, then sounds like it's dying. Every time I tried, it started right up. Yesterday afternoon, she called from work saying it wouldn't start. When I arrived 30 minutes later, it started right up. This morning, I listened when she started the car, and it started after a very slightly long cranking time, then stumbled a bit, but started.
Yesterday, when I showed up to start the car, and also a few weeks ago when the ECM was bad, there was a slight fuel smell. Originally, I thought it was from all of the cranking we did.
I've got a new evaporation canister arriving in a couple of days, so that'll be replaced this weekend.
Any ideas what might be the cause?
Thanks in advance.
