starts then dies V70-XC70 1999

Randall,

I have had this happen on my 1999 NA V-70 for the last few years!. Apparently it is the antenna ring. You may want to do a search. I think I used the same heading "Starts then dies" as you a couple years back.

What I found works is change keys.

You can also take the key out of the ignition. Turn it around, return to pos 2, back to 0, return to 2, back to 0, then start it. What a rigamarole, but it works. Stranger than fiction, eh?

The other alternative is take it to the dealer. I know of one fellow on the BB that did just that and they fixed it with software reprogramming.

Again, try doing a search and I'm sure you'll come up with my post and others.

Good luck

Marty Wolfson
