99 S70 T5 starting problem

Hey people, I'm having issues starting recently and I've never seen a car try and start with so much labor. It sounds terrible trying to start. Battery is strong, gas in the tank, no vacuum leaks, new plugs.

Please watch the video

It eventually started when I shot this video two days ago, but today nothing. Now it barely cranks after ten seconds then I give up and let it cool. Bad starter? I've had starter issues before but not like this.

Any help is turbo appreciated.

Could be a fuel relay going bad...or fuel pump. Gas in the tank has nothing to do with that. You can pull the relay under the hood (under the fuse panel) right in front of the driver's side windshield. This is a fairly common issue on these cars. It's funny that Robert's video came up automatically right after your video.
