Car starts and than immediately stalls S70 2000

My 2000 S70 was recently invoved in an accident that caused damage to the passenger front fender and front bumper. The Hood , fender, bumper and rad were all replaced. The same days I got the car out of the body shop I experienced the following problem. I went out from the office to pick up lunch, when I got back to the car and try to start it, it turned over and kicked in but immediately stalled. I tried to start it about 6 more times and same thing was happening. I called to have the vehicled towed back to the body shop and while waiting I decided to try the car again and it started without the problem re-occuring. I drove it to the body shop they checked it out and could find no problem. I got the car back the next day and it worked fine for about 2 weeks (no stalling while driving or running rough when starting) than the same thing happened first thing in the moring when I tried to start the car at home in my garage. Again it kicked in and started but satlled immediately, kept try to start and same problem continued. I let it sit about 10 minutes tried it again and started right up. I took it back to the body shop and they took it to the Local Volvo dealer. They dealer has had it for two days and can not find any problems. I mentioned the accident, but I am not sure it that relates. Anyone have any ideas

    I had the same problem. Volvo fixed it, it was a faulty antenna ring. Well known problem, bring all your keys to the dealer and have them fix it.

    have a 1999 V70, so same drive gear. Try a different key. After so many starts
    I have to use the spare, then after a time it does same thing, back to other key. BTW I have a 3rd key on me all the time. It seems to be the immolibizer(sic) circuits. Also keep your key chain junk to a minumum. Its all in the interaction between the antenna ring around the igntion switch and the transponder in the key. Ahh, technology at your service!.
    good luck,
