Taken from my other thread:
Hhhhmmm. I swapped the ECU from the S70. It still doesn't start. The only code present on the 850 is 3-2-5 (Memory Failure). It turns over. I've got spark and fuel pressure.
Background: The car hasn't been started in about 3 1/2 weeks (yeah, bad idea, I know) and now it doesn't want to start. The gas in it can't be more than 6 weeks old at the VERY most, and is more likely about 5 weeks old. I've tried starting fluid and all. What gives? It ran perfectly a few weeks ago. All the belts are pretty fresh and are in tact. A few nights ago, it ran rough for about a second, then died. Any other recommendations?

First thought comes to mind - Lawn Mower Syndrome.
Second thought comes to mind - Cam Position Sensor.

Cam Pos. Sensor was replaced 3 yrs/30k miles ago. Think it could be bad again?
Lawn mower syndrome? Okay, so I can get it cleared out, but I have to get it to START first. The car used to sit for up to 2 weeks at a time and never had any problems at all.

You need a well charged battery to try to START it.
