2000 S70 Cranks but won't start unless...

Hey everyone,

I've been having a strange issue with my S70. The car will spin but not start until I physically go and disconnect the battery and then reconnect it after about ten seconds.

It is very strange because If I put my key in the "I" or "II" position, disconnect/reconnect the battery the car will start. However, if I do the above then take the key out and put it back in, the car will crank but not start.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Edit: The car runs perfect once I start it.

Bumping for visibility still having this issue.

When it is in non start mode, pull your codes. Also in non start mode, unplug the MAF before attempting to crank.

I have tried pulling the codes when it is in no-start mode and got nothing. When I leave work today I will try unplugging the MAF before cranking and post back however, I just replaced my MAF a month or so ago.

Update:
1) No codes while in "no-start" mode.
2) Car will not start while in "no-start" regardless of the MAF being unplugged or plugged in.
3) Oddly if I unplug the MAF while the car is running I am able to start the car right up after plugging it back in as long as I keep the key in the II position.
