I had the exact same issue with the SL and it turned out to be the fuel pump itself. Not only would it fail to start some days, but a few occasions it would just quit while driving and fail to restart. I could swear I heard the thing running too.

Next time it does this, give the fuel pump a couple of smacks or shake it around. If it starts, then you found the problem. I stumbled upon it that way accidentally while fiddling around back there.
