Trouble Starting Car S70

I have a 1999 S70 and it will not start unless I turn the key twice to the auxilary position and then give it some gas. It was only happening now and then..lately it is almost everytime I try to start it and it doesn't always work the first time..I often have to try it 5-10 times and then it finally kicks on. Someone told me it might be the relay or the fuel pump...any ideas anyone?

    Trouble Starting Car S70

    probably the antenna thats around the ignnition key switch. This once in awhile
    happens on our 99 V70. I hide another key set in the car. If it tries to start but kicks out, I switch to other set and we are off and running. if you only have one key set, invest $100 and get another for a spare. I dont like to
    do multi starts, strains a lot of stuff, battery, starter.
    hopt this helps
    bj
