Default s70 will not start

I recently bought a 2000 s70. The car runs fine and starts normally after sitting
over night.After the car is driven, it won't start. It cranks but wont start or it starts for
for a couple seconds then dies. It may take 5 to 10 min. with multiple attempts, then it
will start and run normally. Any ideas?

Clogged fuel filter, try that first

Fuel pump or fuel pump relay, try that second

Default 70s

There is no check engine light on. Thanks for the responses. I will try the
fuel filter first.
