Carbon build up on filiment inside sensor. Spray with Mass airflow cleaner or carb cleaner.
Overheating from the engine wears down the sensor and will go out when it gets to hot , after awhile it could be completely degraded to where it wont work anymore
heat, primarily. either causing degausing of the permanant magnet behind the sensor, or other thermal damage to the hall ic itself.
Several things can cause high NOx: lean mixture, bad 02 sensor,exhaust leaks before the catalyst, a defective catalyst, high engine compression (carbon buildup), are among the most common.
Check your instrument cluster fuse in the main fuse box.

easyist thing first check the fuel filter, after that go into the electrical, plugs,wires, cap, rotor. It's very common for the fuel pump, fuel pump relay, Mass Airflow Sensor and fuel pressure regulator to fail on this car. All of these can cause the symptoms you describe. You should also make sure the throttle body is clean and adjusted correctly. Bret
It may have been thumped by a irate customer, there is a shock sensor which will cause the firmware and encryption data to be dumped when this sensor is triggered. also keys can fail probably due to water and or dirt ingress.
No.
Not directly.
I would be suspecting an ABS wheel sensor is starting to fail - sending intermittent signals to the computer.See "Related Questions" below for more
sometimes oil or dirt can cause them to fail. other times they just go bad. they make a mass air flow cleaner spray,don't know how affective it is, has to be a very dry cleaner,meaning not oily solution.
Usually it is the O2 sensor
