Intermittent Cranking Problems

Hi All, I need help with mom's 98 V70 again. When she tries to start it, occasionally will not crank. She brought it to the local mechanic and he replaced the battery (for $200)! and it's still doing the same thing. I understand that this model may have the immoblizer and chip key. What can I check to confirm that either the Antenna ring or the Key is going bad and causing this. Thanks in advance! Tim

I would clean the maf sensor with a cleaner specifically designed for that part (autozone, pep boys), check the thermostat heat sensor/thermostat and check for battery ground connection and loose vaccum hoses.
My car had an intermittent starting issue that was due to the thermostat heat sensor....easy cheap fix. GL!
