sounds like a security problem. i know pontiac grand ams had a huge issue with security setting, you had to let the car sit for atleast 20 minutes and then it would start. i would look to see if you can find anything like that in these cars. i know to do the cheap fix in the grand ams what just cut a small yellow wire and it would never happen again the security light would always be on though.

Did you check fuel pressure? Might not be priming. Will it start if you turn the key off and on to cycle the pump a couple times?
Any codes? Could be crank position sensor or the wiring shorting on headers or exhaust. Usually the tach won't flutter or move during cranking if this is it.
