longshot but have you tried a different key - I have heard of the rfid thing dying, the key will start the car but only for a moment

otherwise I would say check the cam sensor and make sure the timing belt is intact if you haven't

Did you ever figure this out? My sister's 2002 S80 is doing the exact same thing; the dealer wanted to charge her $1300 to replace the Throttle Body but I insisted we change it ourselves. After installing the new one, the car exhibited the exact same behavior. I researched the engine codes the dealer identified and found that the coil packs could have gone bad. Even after replacing them, the car still wouldn't start. We're desperate to know how you fixed yours!
