Search for the post titled "Easy Fix for Lawn Mower Syndrome". LMS happened to my 1998 V70 a few months ago. The car was running just long enough to move it in the driveway and the next day it wouldnt start.

Its a 5 speed so I decided to move it towards the garage by cranking the engine with first gear engaged. After moving a few feet the engine started firing erratically. I cranked some more in 5-10 second bursts with the throttle 1/4 open. Eventually the engine started running and idled OK. Drove it a few miles and never had the problem again.
