rough engine start

97 900S manual, 227k miles. Bad behavior started two days ago. Car cranks like normal at ignition and sounds like it starts but ignition stalls/dies when I release the key from the "crank" position to "on" position. After 6-10 attempts engine starts and runs seemingly normally. When engine doesn't start, all gauges zero out and dash lights turn off momentarily but then come back on as they are normally on when switch is in "on" position. Behaves the same both when the engine is cold and when hot. Intermittently starts normally on first crank. It almost seems like it's not getting fuel; it's been about 80-100k since I replaced the fuel pump.
Car has recently had alternator and battery replaced; haven't done an ignition switch yet. Haven't had a tune-up in far too long and have an oil leak in distributor.
Any ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance!
